The home is a cozy place where many people spend their free time, relax after work, and simply go about their daily business. But sometimes you open the door and think, “Something’s wrong. I want to change something here!” Thinking is fine, but you don’t know where to start or how to approach the renovation.

The step-by-step plan: renovating your home

Careful renovation planning is the key to success. This way, you won’t miss a single detail and you’ll go through the entire process step by step to ultimately realize your renovation project successfully. Our step-by-step plan is your starting point for renovating your home.
1. Find inspiration and set goals.
It often happens that you want to renovate something but don’t yet have a complete picture in your head. A good way to clarify this is by brainstorming. Create a word web or mind map and look for inspiration, for example on the internet or together with the people you live with. Then set specific goals:

A new living style that matches your preferences and aesthetic wishes;
Modernization and a fresh look in line with the latest trends;
Making your home more sustainable. After all, saving energy has become increasingly important over the past ten years;
Creating more space, either visually or by removing a non-load-bearing wall, for example.

2. Draw up a plan.
Do you already have an idea of exactly what you want to renovate in your home? In any case, take a tour of the house to take a good look at each room so that you can make a comprehensive plan for what needs to be done. You can also seek advice from a designer or architect and research the range of new technologies available so that you can combine functionality with a beautiful renovation. Based on this information, you can add useful elements to your plan for each room.
3. Set a budget and financing options.
The costs of a renovation are difficult to predict accurately, as they depend on many factors and each situation is unique. Therefore, set your budget based on your own funds and external financing options, such as a mortgage or loan. Also take into account unforeseen expenses, so you don’t face any unpleasant surprises.
4. Hire a construction company.
If you want to make your dreams come true, you need to carefully select reliable contractors. Prices are important, but even more important are craftsmanship, experience, quality of materials, and a sincere willingness to work with customers and incorporate their ideas into the renovation project. The right contractor will give you peace of mind!
5. Apply for permits and comply with legislation.
If your home is located in a historic and protected part of the city, for example, your plans may be appropriate but sometimes do not comply with all rules and regulations. That is why it is important to carefully check everything with your municipality in advance and apply for a permit in good time. This will prevent delays and unnecessary additional costs during the renovation of your home. A tedious step, but it cannot be avoided.
6. Set and prepare timelines.
Try to create as realistic a schedule as possible for the project. Consider your personal wishes, but don’t forget possible delays: the delivery time of materials, unforeseen circumstances, and other practical matters. Then consult with the construction company you have chosen and discuss everything thoroughly so that the schedule is clearly established. Then the contractors can get to work.
7. Start the renovation process.
Once the preparations are complete, the renovation can really get underway. A logical sequence of work helps to ensure that everything runs smoothly and without hassle. Usually, you start with the demolition work, followed by the structural work such as putting up walls and laying pipes. Next comes the finishing work such as painting and laying floors. And finally, of course, putting the furniture and appliances in place.
8. Completion and final inspection.
You take the key, put it in the lock, and step inside. Together with the contractors, you do a final walk-through of the house to check that everything meets your expectations. The handover is the final step of the project and just as important as all the steps before it. Is everything in order? Then you can finally relax and enjoy your renovated home. Are there still defects or things that have not been done as agreed? Then this will be recorded in a handover report. The contractor will then have the opportunity to resolve these issues within an agreed period of time. This way, you can be sure that you will get what you expected.
