Your Step-by-Step Guide to a Successful Home Renovation
Home renovation is not only about fixing what is already broken or bringing something shiny to your home, it is about rethinking your own space to suit who you are now, and who you will be tomorrow. But to tell the truth, the concept of renovation can be stressful. Now you may be asking yourself: Where do I begin? What if it gets too expensive? What if something goes wrong? The good news is that it can actually be a creative, smooth and even fun experience with the right approach and the right people on your side (hello to ZA Builders).
Step 1: Find Reason You Are Renovating
Before the dust, before the paint, before any contracts all starts with your why.
- Modernising a kitchen that is trapped in 2005?
- Going green at home?
- Need to sell and increase the value of your property?
Be specific. Whatever decisions you will make in the future, what you do and why will be determined by your why. Write down your renovation goals. Refer to them often. When decisions begin to stack up, it helps to keep things straight.
Step 2: Have a Real Budget
The majority of homeowners underestimate the price of renovations, particularly when single renovations begin to spiral into larger renovations. Write a real budget and then add about 10-20 percent more as a buffer against unforeseen costs (because, as we know, there will be a surprise or two). And cheap is not necessarily the prudent thing. The end result of cutting corners can be more expensive. Lock your numbers only after getting estimates by reputable professionals (such as ZA Builders).
Step 3: Select the Proper Renovation Partner
A renovation is only as good as the team behind it.
You want someone who:
- Listens to your needs
- Sticks to deadlines
- Doesn’t ghost you mid-project
- Has actual experience in your kind of project
- Understands local rules and permits (especially in Lahore!)
We give your renovation the same attention at the ZA Builders with honesty, detail and an awful lot of planning.
Step 4: Complete Design Plan
This is the interesting side. It is your turn to determine how your new space will be like and feel.
- Make through the reorganization of the layout
- Display 3D representations of your remodelled space
- Aid in the selection of materials, color schemes, lighting etc.
Ensure that it fits in your budget and your deadline. We are also in a position to assist you in prioritising. Fancy an attractive new kitchen and new wardrobes? We can present to you what is feasible now- and what can make it to Phase 2 when necessary.
Step 5: Gain Permits (Yes, It is important)
It is imperative in places such as Lahore city, that one adheres to the local building codes and securing of approvals. Certain renovations may not require the whole permit (such as cosmetic ones), however, structural alteration, a rerouting of plumbing, or electrical work will surely require a permit. ZA Builders deals with the red tape work so that you do not need to bother about running all around to get approvals or to fall in red tape.
Step 6: The Renovation Begins!
It’s go time. Depending on the scale of your project, this stage can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months.
What to expect:
- Demolition (yes, it’s noisy)
- Structural fixes or changes
- Electrical and plumbing work
- Flooring, ceilings, and walls
- Painting and finishes
- Final clean-up
Through the process we maintain you at each stage. No vanishing or disappearing, no uncertain word. You will be in a position to know what is going on, when and why.
Step 7: Quality Inspection + Finishing
After everything has been installed, and the paint dry, we have gone over it with a fine tooth comb:
- And are all fixtures secured and in operation?
- Does the finish look professional and clean?
- Were we good on our promises?
The project is complete only after you are satisfied.
Step 8: Party In Your New Space!
Relax and breathe. This is the step where you can walk into a new home and fall in love again.
It is not a space although it is now your space and is designed and constructed toward your ideas.
