The renovator’s checklist: What you need to know, before you begin
Dreaming of renovating? After a few years of spending quite a bit of time at home, many Australian homeowners have added renovating to their to-do list. The ABS recently reported that Aussie renovators spent a breathtaking $12.3 billion on home renovations in 2021 – a 33 per cent increase on the previous year. It’s not surprising, as our homes are working pretty hard these days, but the reality of bringing those newly created mood boards to life can be quite challenging. Here’s where to start.
Ask yourself ‘why?’
The cost of renovating
Is it achievable?
Seek the right approvals
Build your team
Lock in your budget
Settle your timeline
Organise your living arrangements
Tip: It’s also a good idea to let your neighbours know about any planned renovations. Having happy neighbours is good for everyone!
