The Big Picture
with William H. (Bill) Harrison, Frank Heery and Andrea Bain

We have all heard the proverb, “a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step,” and when you are renovating, you need to make sure you are starting that journey off on the right foot! Join in a conversation with Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles’ Editor in Chief, Elizabeth Ralls, and the showhouse architectural design team of William H. (Bill) Harrison and Frank Heery, both of Harrison Design, along with developer Andrea Bain of The O’Donnell Group, as they reveal the best practices for approaching renovation projects—of all sizes. Discover which contractors need to be involved in the process, and when. Learn how to develop a proper budget, and ultimately, gain an understanding of the most common renovation pitfalls—and how to avoid them.
