Both options have advantages and challenges, and understanding them is crucial to making the best decision. At Forestik, we guide clients through this process with clarity, expertise, and personalized solutions.

3. Challenges of Renovation
- Structural limitations may restrict design options.
- Hidden issues such as mold, outdated wiring, or foundation damage can arise.
- Compliance with modern building codes may require adjustments.
4. New Construction: A Fresh Start
Building from scratch offers total control over design, materials, and technology. Forestik provides end-to-end construction services, ensuring every aspect matches your vision.
5. Advantages of New Construction
- Customization: Every element is designed specifically for your needs.
- Modern Standards: Incorporate energy-efficient systems and the latest technologies.
- Longevity: A newly built structure lasts decades with minimal maintenance.
