Managing project scope for non-asbestos home improvements
This guide focuses on salvaging non-asbestos materials from projects, and incorporating used materials into remodeling home improvements. With research, planning and creativity, you can take advantage of waste prevention opportunities that might be missed in a conventional remodel, thus managing project scope.
Focus on meeting the largest number of your goals with the fewest modifications to your current space. This will cost less, reduce disruption, and use fewer resources.Consider a not-so-big approach to home improvement. An increasingly common goal with green remodeling is to stay within a house’s original footprint to save money and outdoor space.
Use materials efficiently (such as placing wall studs at 24-inch intervals rather than every 16 inches, utilizing thinner plywood/wallboard or narrower molding, etc.), while ensuring quality construction, safety, and durability.
