Five Things to Know Before Starting Your Home Renovation
Renovating your home is an exciting journey—but it can quickly turn stressful without the right planning and team in place. Whether you’re updating a kitchen, adding an extension, or doing a full remodel, there are a few key things every homeowner should know before getting started. At [Your Company Name], we’ve helped hundreds of families bring their vision to life—and these are our top tips for a smoother renovation.
Know Your Budget—and Build in a Buffer
Before we pick up a hammer, it’s crucial to know how much you’re comfortable spending. We always recommend including a 10–15% contingency budget for unexpected surprises (because there’s always at least one!). A clear budget helps us guide material choices and keeps your project on track.
Design First, Build Second
Rushing into construction without a solid design plan is a recipe for delays. Work with a designer or architect to finalise layouts, finishes, and fittings. The more decisions made before we start, the faster and smoother the build will be.
Understand the Timeline
Every build is different, but a good builder will be honest about how long things take. Weather, materials, and approvals can all affect the schedule. We provide realistic timelines from day one—and keep you updated every step of the way.
Choose the Right Team
Hiring the cheapest quote often costs more in the long run. Look for a builder with experience in your type of project, transparent communication, and a solid portfolio. We take pride in the quality of our work and the relationships we build with our clients.
Get Your Permissions in Order
Many renovations require planning permission or council approval. We can help you navigate the paperwork, but it’s important to factor this into your timeline early. Starting work before approval can lead to fines and project delays.
