Coop Renovation

Hi all, my wife and I are considering purchasing a 2BR coop apt that will need significant work before we can move our family into the space.
These renovations will include some or all of the following: bathroom removal, bathroom installation, closet removal, closet construction, kitchen modifications, radiator moving, floor refinishing, painting, and trim work. Our intention is to work with someone who can help us decide on the scope of work.
As we are looking to buy and then renovate the apartment we would like to start working with a contractor now for two reasons: 1. so we know what we are getting ourselves into before we sign our lives away on a mortgage, 2. so we can use the renovation costs when negotiating the purchase place,
We are not looking for high end finishes, just reliable and honest work.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
