The first step of the process was a meeting with Mark at UBuildIt to get an estimate of probable cost. He came to the house, looked at what we currently have, and discussed what we wanted to add. A couple of weeks later he gave us a line item estimate with a range of values for each item.

We finally decided to go ahead with the adventure. The next step was to get an official design. We met with Ken at KP Designs to start the design process. In the next couple of months we had 2 or 3 more meetings with Ken to finalize the plans.

After finalizing the plans, we met with Mark at UBuildIt to go over specifications. He went through a list of general materials and finishes with us (e.g. type of flooring, siding, roofing, light fixtures). The goal was to make the general choices, but not to select specific materials yet (e.g. we decided on carpet, but haven't chosen the specific carpet).
Mark is getting bids from subcontractors and when he is done, he will prepare a detailed Cost Review. Then we'll see how well we're doing with our budget!

The permit ready plans were completed and submitted to the city. We should get the permits by the beginning of December.

We plan to move to the rental house mid- to late December. We know, our timing isn't the best. It will likely be a bit crazy.

We hope to start demolition in early Jan.
