The best sources, come from the industries and people that contractors are constantly working with – so make sure to ask the designers you meet with for companies that they would recommend for your project
Your second cousin, on your mother’s side is NOT the best way to get the name for a good contractor.

Another quick and easy piece of advice – start with the money.
Meet and speak with your account, financial advisor, mortgage broker, bank manager and perhaps all of them! Find out what you can afford and share your ideas with them as they often have creative ways of providing you access to capital that does not put a strain on your personal cash flow. ALWAYS start with the money, there is no point in wasting time and energy falling in love with ideas – only to find out you can not afford them. This often leads to desperate attempts to cut corners, make under the table agreements and sometimes perform illegal and sub-standard work – which WILL cost you more in the end.

This might seem really obvious – but it is amazing how often people overlook the fact that your home life will be disrupted for at least 6-8 weeks for smaller renovations and up to a year on larger projects When was the last time you really sat down and thought about the perfect home for you and your life
Value Is Perception
The value of a new home is much more than the price paid. The value of the options and upgrades involve intangible benefits that can differentiate them from similar products found at big box stores. Perceived value comes from how something will improve current conditions for each home buyer. Creating the experience, telling the story and providing the wonderment craved by all homebuyers that embark on their new home journey sets the scene to maximize value. A home buying experience orchestrated like a symphony production instead of a subway act will garner applause of customers and encore requests through referrals. Achieving a Georgie nomination is an industry stamp of approval, but winning a prestigious Gold Georgie Award is an achievement that Marcraft Homes honourably received – earning the elite position of being recognized as the best of the best in the BC home building industry
