Don’t blow your construction budget! Here’s how to save at least $20,000 on your medium size renovation…Really!
1. Save costs on your demolition by recycling your kitchen and bathroom cabinets and fixtures- contact Green Demolitions for details, Noel Grabill 203 247 9030….related tax credits can easily reach $5,000 to 10,000.
2. Buy your own fixtures, tiles and cabinets, eliminating the 15% that a general contractor marks up on these items…In a typical $500,000 project, one could easily spend $75,000 worth of fixtures, tiles and cabinets. That example, at 15% , would result in $11,250 of savings.
Here’s a link to Direct Buy. https://www.directbuy.com/ a subscription based purchasing membership with a $5200 initial fee and annual fee of $299 but steep discounts that many of my customers have successfully.
3. Hire your own painter, this is usually the easiest subcontractor to deal with. Take a typical $20,000 painting job, eliminating the 15% that the general contractor marks up this trade, saves over $3000.
