subject: A Guide To Planning Your Bathroom Renovation, From The Professionals At Precision Construction [print this page] Before you talk with various Sydney building companies about your potential bathroom renovations, have a clear idea in place. This way, theyll be able to provide more direction for your project, better advice and an accurate quote for the work. Ask yourself these questions:
Do I want a complete bathroom makeover or just minor maintenance?
Theres a big difference between adding in a shower or extra cupboard space, and completely remodelling the entire room. Giving the builder an idea of which one it is at the beginning of your consultation will make the discussion much more relevant to your needs.
What dont I like about my current bathroom?
The last thing a builder wants is to recommend or suggest renovation ideas that you hate or that youre trying to get rid of. By making a list of the things you like and dislike, and explaining your reasons behind them to the builder, they will have more of an insight into your preferences.
What kind of style do I want it to be?
Research online or look through magazines and make a compilation of bathrooms that you really like. Then look through them and see if any style patterns emerge. This is a good way of finding out which style you like so you can explain this to the builder. Having a firm understanding of your preferred style will streamline the renovation design process.
Are there any must-have fixtures or features?
If there are any particular must-have features you want for your new bathroom, like a bath in the middle of the room or a high ceiling, make a list and tell the builder. Make it clear that those specifications are not flexible, so that they dont try to change the plans.
What is my budget?
Never go into a building consultation without at least a vague idea of your budget. Providing your budget specifications will help the builder to make realistic renovation suggestions and to compile a quote. It will also ensure you dont plan for a bathroom renovation that you actually cant afford.
When you are confident you could answer these questions on bathroom renovations when asked by a Sydney builder, then youre ready to organise the consultation.
