This 850BuildingGroup.com 11 1,936 sq.ft., 3b/3ba home in Rosemary received a much-needed makeover this summer. With over $300k in renovation costs, we were able to transform this beach home into a beautiful, more functional living space. Not without some challenges, of course. The owners are from out of state and were originally going to fly in to make selections for their home. Unfortunately, be- cause of COVID-19, their travel plans had to be cancelled. The entire project, from start to finish, was done 100% re- mote and online. Like any remodel project, we always anticipate a few surpris- es. While we expect them, we never know exactly which ones will come up, which has us adjusting on the fly and solving difficult issues very quickly in order to keep the job moving forward and keep costs down as much as possible. There were definitely some new and different experiences on this project that helped us learn and grow as a company. Various chal- lenges—like planning for supply chain delays—have made us accountable for the high standards we set for ourselves in or- der to provide the highest quality work and superior service to our clients. From upgrading windows to knocking out a few walls, and everything in between, we still managed to complete the project several weeks sooner than expected. The client was extremely happy with their newly updated home and thrilled they were able to enjoy a Fourth of July vacation together at the beach.
