Residential Management Does Remodeling

 Efficient residential property management can be used to increase the worth of an asset. The assets managing team can advise the owner of a house on making renovations and remodeling of the asset to increase its market value. If required, they should search for an architect or constructor to remodel or renovate the house as desired. The beauty and worth of every room of the house can be increased to enhance the total value of the asset. Here, the different ways in which one can add or modify features of the kitchen are listed

• A kitchen that has an adequate number of well organized cabinets has great market value. The residential property management team can get a plan designed by an architect for adding cabinets to the kitchen. The number of cabinets required, their sizes, the number of shelves in each cabinet and the layout of the cabinet should be planned. The kitchen should not look cluttered with a large number of cabinets. It should look spacious even when the cabinets are placed. The cabinets should not be placed high on the wall because it will be difficult to access, more so, if one has to access the cabinets frequently.

• The residential property management team should see if the kitchen is well ventilated and has adequate fresh air supply. There should be an abundance of light and fresh air in the kitchen because this is the most probable place for harboring pathogenic microorganisms. The place should have at least one window through which air flows freely. If it is not there then it should be made. The kitchen should be well illuminated too. The place where cooking is done is the one that needs the maximum illumination. Fluorescent tubes can be used in the kitchen.

• The concept of the kitchen is redefined in the present times. Gone are the days when the kitchen used to be a place where housewives or cooks used to spend hours together toiling to make some good food. The residential property management team should educate the owner about how a sophisticated kitchen can increase the market value of his entire house. But sophistication does not mean that one brings in a whole lot of items and simply shoves them here and there in the kitchen. All the items including stoves, ovens, dishwasher refrigerators, telephones, television sets and the dining table should be arranged well.

• One major aspect of kitchen architecture is the work triangle, at the vertices of which are the cooking place, the sink and the storing area. The residential property management team will have an idea of the different layouts of the work triangle. There are five types of work triangles in all. They are namely, the single wall arrangement, the L Shaped, the U shaped, the G shaped, and the corridor type.

In the single wall arrangement all the three work areas are in a single line and these are suitable for small kitchens. The L shaped arrangement has two work areas in a row along the wall and the third one at right angles to one of them. This allows for a lot of space in the kitchen. In the U shaped arrangement the three work areas are aligned in the form a U and it is an efficient arrangement as the work areas are not disturbed by traffic. The G shape is a modification of the U shape with an extra space for appliances. The corridor also called the gallery arrangement consists of closely placed work centers. The residential property management team should let one know the arrangement that is best suited for his kitchen.
