THE "SCALE UP" SERIES 4

RENOVATION


Hello folks, trust the weekend is coming on well with all your plans for summer going smoothly.

Well for me it's been quite an unusual summer with lots of work related activities, as I have been engaged helping individuals, organisations and families upgrade their spaces while they are off on vacation. What an irony 🀷

The past weeks in August have been about upgrading spaces with the SCALE UP series being the platter from which I dish out insights using real life scenarios from my engagements in the course of the summer break.

Just so you have an idea of how far we have come on this series, let's have a recap of the first two approaches that serves as a guide to helping you decide the scale of upgrade for your space πŸ‘‡


RECAP



βœ… Facelift is any activity undertaken to renew, revamp, update, or improve the appearance of something. 

βœ… Facelift should improve on both functionality (use of the space) and aesthetics (beauty of the space).

βœ… Quick fix or D.I.Y will not necessarily require you coming up with a budget to have it fixed.

βœ… With Quick fix or D.I.Y, the question of who should have it fixed doesn't usually pop up in your mind.

βœ… The measure of Cost, Time and Scope of work for a Facelift will always outweigh that of a Quick Fix or D.I.Y.

Clear?


RENOVATION EXPLAINED


 

Whether it's a facelift, a quick fix or even renovation, there are common denominators to all the approaches to upgrading your space, which is Cost, Time and Scope of work. However there is an additional factor that makes renovation exceptional, and that is πŸ‘‡

βœ… THE COURSE 

Why do you want it done in the first place?

Could it be as a result of change of lifestyle, for instance the need to create an extra space to accommodate an addition to your family?

Or for current reality, let's say the need to have your office and home in the same building so as to save cost on real estate?

The most important part of a renovation project is in answering the question of necessity, otherwise you increase the chance of getting stuck along the line.




And so because renovation requires planning, hiring, procurement, budgeting and more, I strongly recommend you engage professionals in fields such as architecture, interior design, project management, contracting, administration etc, just before you set the ball rolling.

Trust me, you will return to thank me if you adhere to this advise.

Yeah I know it can be hectic joggling this along with your primary duties, and that's where Consult Kenny perfectly fits in.

Getting your project brief, floor plans, project plans, cost estimate, documentations, sourcing and outsourcing, etc sorted is just a click away.

  THE "GET IT RIGHT"  (G.I.R)  SERIES 2: PRONOUNCE IT  RIGHT!!! Hi folks, Trust you are doing great and I guess September is coming on well. It's back to school and I'm pleased to have my esteemed audience in class ☺️ I introduced a new series in my last post, highlighting a course outline that will help the Consult Kenny audience and subscribers brush up their interior design prowess. G.I.R 101 was first in line and the objective of this course is to help you with the right pronunciation of interior design terms. Just as it is with every other profession, there are terminologies peculiar to interior design. While you may be familiar with some, there are others you need guidance with, especially terms that originate from other languages like French, Chinese, Latin, Italian and others. Here are a few examples of such terms, their pronunciation and meanings πŸ‘‡ #1:  FRENCH Γ‰TAGÈRE πŸ—£οΈ/ etaΚ’Ι›r / A freestanding or hanging set of open shelves, designed to display trin...

THE "ABOUT THIS TIME" SERIES 2: THE SEASONS YOU KNEW NOTHING ABOUT!!!

  THE "ABOUT THIS TIME"  SERIES 2: THE SEASONS YOU KNEW  NOTHING  ABOUT! !! Hi there, Trust you are doing great and making the best of this summer. As for me, I'm trying my best to connect with my audience beyond the scope of my job as an interior designer and project manager by referencing cycles of seasons that spans 2 decades of my life, ranging from year 2004 to 2024. Hence, The "About This Time" Series  Going by my age, the seasons of my life you knew nothing about would likely exceed 3 decades (if you are not a relative, a friend or a colleague), but then I should ask myself; at what points did I become conscious enough to identify seasons of my life and their peculiarities? Looking in hindsight, the answer would be at points where I was plagued with BOREDOM, and here is what I mean πŸ‘‡   #2004: FROM  BOREDOM TO EXPOSURE  About This Time 20 years ago πŸ’­πŸ€” Photo: Ayodeji (left) | Yours sincerely (right) πŸ™ˆ Location: College of Technology, Yaba...
