The renovation project started with engaging all stakeholders and meeting a few times to draft the initial project ideas/design. A beautiful large open space concept with the largest island we have been ever designed and built., along with smart lighting system (TP Link provided by www.Supply2Go.ca) and multi room audio system (www.Supply2Go.ca). Obviously, any renovation comes with many unknowns, uncertainties, distance jobs, and so on. To start, this renovation project involved removing many walls on the main floor. As a result, an engineer got hired (https://www.permitman.ca) to check the structure and give us the green light for removing the walls, the non-load-bearing walls of course!
It is renovation time and everyone likes to hold the sledgehammer, give it a swing and break the walls, cabinets, and everything else down. But we had to hold tight for Habitat for Humanity to remove the cabinets in the kitchen, they took their time to safely remove countertops and kitchen cabinets. After making sure all electric and water lines are safe, the battle of demolition started!
I am not aware of any renovation projects with no unknowns. Demolition is done and this is when one realizes that the plumbing, electrical, heat registers, return ducts, central vacuum, and others need to get modified to be able to execute the new design. It is always fun finding solutions to the issues at this stage. Renovation projects are all about that: troubleshooting. And ADH Canada is good at that.

The customer had been complaining about the drain for the kitchen sink.
We realized the problem right after the demolition phase.
Our plumber came up with the solution which cost us two extra days of work! But it was worth it.
A central vacuum is always an easy fix in most renovation projects, as it does not require keeping the slope as accurate as a drainage system. And air return rerouting was a breeze too.
