[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We bought a house recently and are planning some significant renovations.  We also learned that both next-door neighbors on either side of the house work out of their homes.  I feel terrible about the potential for our renovations to make it difficult for them to concentrate and work, as I am sure there will be lots of noise, banging, drilling, etc.  That said, I do not want the neighbors to think they can dictate the path of our renovations.  I'd basically like to minimize any inconvenience for neighbors while maintaining autonomy over our house, builders, and renovations.

If you have advice about (a) how to discuss the renovations with them without giving them any authority over them, (b) how to manage potential conflicts between our builders and neighbors, and (c) possible things we can do for the neighbors to make the process less intrusive, we would really appreciate it.

Thank you![/quote]

They'll manage just fine. We moved in, had a bsby, and then day 5 of my mat leave the neighbor got started on a teardown.  Honestly, it wasn't that loud.  A few spikes of loudness heard and there, but otherwise just popping things up.

Work from homers have tons of nice, low cost shared office space options in the area. Or coffee shops.

Renovations happen all the time. Even to the nearby schools and no ones throwing too big a fit. [/quote]
