        "text": "When comparing cost estimates for a residential renovation, focus beyond the bottom-line number. Examine the scope of work detailed in each estimate to ensure all contractors are quoting for the same materials, finishes, and level of craftsmanship. Pay close attention to inclusions like permit coordination, project management fees, and allowances for specific items. AKN Design Group provides a single point of coordination, integrating design and build to deliver a transparent, managed process. This ensures you're comparing not just prices, but also the quality of service, the comprehensive nature of the offering, and the reliability of the contractor.",
