If women are purchasing homes at twice the rate of men, why are we so hesitant to take on home improvement?

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Created in response to a rising demographic of single women homeowners, this workshop is for all individuals who want to gain a better understanding of home improvement and construction project management, with a focus on making residential renovation and rehab more approachable for women. Participants will learn about the building process from start to finish, while developing a plan for navigating wants versus needs.

Single women are currently the second-largest segment of homebuyers, yet many pass on great purchase opportunities because they are intimidated by the renovation process or do not know where to begin. 

Part One: Plan & Prepare

• Identify best ROI
• Set realistic expectations
• Recognize the importance of research and a clearly articulated design vision

Part Two: Activate Your Plan

• Procure supplies and materials
• ​​​​​​​Project management, contingency planning and budgeting​​​​​​​
