The Core Principles of a Successful Home Remodel

When looking to give your whole home a fresh, new look – without compromising on function in the pursuit of beauty, there are specific elements of good interior design that DevArt8 Builders will follow.

 

We map out the floor plan for the design upgrade and even expand spaces where needed by moving walls and raising ceilings. The goal is to find the balance between making a room useful without significantly affecting other spaces.

 

In retrospect, every space should have a focal point with its discernible sense of unity and harmony, and each element should complement one another with smooth transitions through the remodel. In summary, our core principles for your home upgrades involve understanding your vision and ensuring optimal use of space.

Remodel Guide by Devart

Structural Considerations

To ensure that the upgrades done on your home, structurally speaking, are not compromising the integrity of the structure, we consider load-bearing components and how modifications impact the overall framework.

This starts by strategically designing and placing beams and columns to distribute weight and ensure safe load transfer evenly. For improved floor plans, we create functional living spaces that accommodate your household's requirements.

Design and Architectural Considerations

When implementing the agreed design features into your home remodel, we focus on matching the architectural vision with structural feasibility.

Your home remodel journey starts by selecting an architectural style that resonates with your vision, setting the tone for the entire project. For interior layout flow, you get a fluid design and functional interior floor plan that ensures smooth transitions between spaces for better living.
