3 things to know before renovating your bathroom 🛁
Thinking about renovating your bathroom? Here are 3 things worth knowing before you get started:
1️⃣ Find out if your renovation needs building consent
Not every bathroom renovation requires consent, but adding new sanitary fixtures, creating a new bathroom or making structural changes can affect the requirements. Establish this early with your builder or council.
2️⃣ Establish your budget early
Bathroom costs can vary significantly depending on the products and finishes you choose. Tiles, tapware, vanities, showers and custom features can all quickly change the overall cost, so having a realistic budget from the start is important.
3️⃣ Think carefully before managing everything yourself
Buying materials and organising each trade separately can look like a way to save money, but delays, incorrect products and poor sequencing can quickly wipe out those savings. Using one company to coordinate the renovation can make the process simpler and often more cost-effective.
Good planning at the start can save a lot of headaches later.
