Know What You Want
You might think you know what you want your new kitchen to look like, but do you really? Having a broad idea isn’t good enough if you want your project to stay on track. Projects that are finished on time are almost always the ones that are thoroughly planned and thought out before work begins. Trying to make on-the-spot decisions causes delays and headaches and may increase the cost of the remodel.
Plan Early
In most cases, the pre-planning stage of a major remodel can take several weeks to a month. This includes choosing your materials, ordering, and waiting for your materials, and obtaining building permits.
Set Realistic Goals
Try to think about any obstacle that might get in your way. For instance, are you scheduling your renovations for winter? Consider the impact a bad snowstorm could have on your project. Or maybe the weather cooperates, but your cabinets aren’t delivered on time.
Give yourself — and your construction crew — plenty of leeway when it comes to certain aspects of the project — especially when dealing with special orders.
Steer Clear of Changes
When it comes to home renovations, even the smallest change can cost you time and money. Keep your project on schedule by knowing exactly what you want and sticking to the plan.
Keep It Generic
If you have a tight timeline and want to keep your renovations on schedule, avoid buying any special order or customized items. Any time you make a special order, you risk delays. However, if you do want custom pieces for your remodel just be sure to order them well in advance.
