At the heart of our estimate and design process is out Good better Best estimate (or budget as we like to call it) give you more control over your home remodeling budget. We’ve spent hundred of hours creating and updating our GBB budget sheet to make is simple and fast to create while still being very accurate and detailed.
There are 3 options for each selection in your project: A budget friendly “Good” option, a middle of the road “Better Option and a “Best” option.
As work through the GBB budget sheet together you can choose the selections that best meet your needs and your budget. For example, you might choose the “Good” backsplash tile (subway tile for example) but opt for the “Best” kitchen sink (an Idea Station 5 perhaps?)
Once all your selections are made you will have a budget for your project that balances your budget needs and project priorities.
