Renovation By Committee

The blog discusses the importance of common area design and renovation in adding value to a building, but advises against involving too many people in the decision-making process. The blog suggests forming a design committee comprising individuals with practical renovation and design experience to make decisions transparently and efficiently. The board should not be involved in details beyond the overall vision and budget. The committee should present recommendations or proposals to the board for consideration at a board meeting. The article highlights that common area design and renovations will never please everyone, and involving too many people can lead to generic, boring, and ineffective solutions. Finally, the article suggests having a meeting to discuss planned renovations and giving everyone an opportunity to provide input before having the committee provide a final recommendation for consideration by the board.
