Residential Services
Apartment & Private Home Renovations
Polak Management provides comprehensive residential project management and design-build services for apartments and private homes. Whether renovating a single apartment or transforming an entire residence, projects can be delivered turnkey—from initial design through construction completion—or structured à la carte, working seamlessly with the client’s existing designer, architect, or general contractor.
Clients may engage Polak Management for the entire scope or select specific services from a curated menu based on their needs, experience, and level of involvement.

Apartment renovations
Apartment renovations require careful planning, coordination, and knowledge of building requirements, approvals, and logistics. Polak Management can fully manage the renovation process or integrate into an existing team, providing leadership and oversight where needed.
We can manage the entire process in-house or collaborate with your chosen professionals, including designers, architects, engineers, and contractors.
Advantages of the Design-Build Approach with Polak Management:

Early focus on pricing and scheduling
-
Streamlined decision-making
-
One dedicated Project Manager throughout the project
-
Clear accountability across all phases
-
Reduced risk, delays, and miscommunication
-
This approach is ideal for busy clients or those without prior renovation or construction experience.
-
From assembling the right consultants and managing design, to overseeing construction and final delivery, every detail is handled on your behalf.

At completion, all that remains is to turn the key to your new home.
