Renovate vs. Rebuild?

People acquire homes in different ways — some buy brand new, others build from the ground up, and some inherit properties passed down through generations.

For those who inherit or purchase pre-owned homes, it can be challenging to decide whether to renovate or rebuild. That’s where True North Construction Services come in — to help you make the right choice for your space, your lifestyle, and your future. Here are three things to consider in deciding whether to renovate or rebuild.

Structural integrity

The structure should be assessed by a licensed engineer to know if the structure is still safe for renovation. This is a key factor since this is where the decision depends; if the structure is no longer capable of upholding the new design, then there is no choice but to rebuild the structure.

Budget

Renovation usually costs less upfront, since most of the needed structure is already present. However, in some cases, renovation costs can actually compete with the cost of rebuilding, especially when there is major construction to do. It is better to consult and practice open communication with your contractor to understand the expenses.

Design flexibility

If you want a perfectly new layout, rebuilding is for you. On the other hand, if the new design doesn’t have much difference from the current structure, it is highly suggested to renovate instead.
