OUR STRATEGY TO MAKE YOUR PROJECTS PROCESS SMOOTHER
Smoothing the bathroom renovation process involves good planning, clear communication, and realistic expectations. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you minimize stress and avoid costly delays:
1. Define Your Goals and Budget
-
Decide what you need: Cosmetic update or full renovation (e.g., layout, plumbing)?
-
Set a realistic budget: Include a 10–20% contingency for unexpected issues (water damage, structural surprises).
2. Plan the Layout and Design
-
Measure everything carefully.
-
Use design tools (like SketchUp, Roomstyler, or even IKEA's planner).
-
Think about functionality: storage, lighting, ventilation, water efficiency.
-
Create a mood board with your preferred styles, tiles, fixtures, and color palettes.
3. Choose the Right Professionals
-
Hire a licensed builder/plumber/electrician if you’re not DIY-ing.
-
Ask for:
-
References and portfolio
-
Licensing and insurance
-
Detailed quote and timeline
-
-
Avoid choosing based only on the cheapest price.
4. Select Fixtures and Materials Early
-
Order tiles, vanity, shower screen, tapware, mirror, toilet early.
-
Ensure all items are on-site before work starts to avoid delays.
5. Get Necessary Permits
-
For structural or plumbing changes, check local regulations.
-
In many parts of Australia (like VIC/NSW), waterproofing must be done by a certified professional and may require a compliance certificate.
6. Create a Renovation ScheduleTimeline for each stage:
-
DemolitionRough-in plumbing/electrical
-
Waterproofing
-
Tiling
-
Fixtures & fittings
-
Painting and finishing
-
Schedule trades in the correct order to avoid rework.
7. Check In RegularlyStay involved:

Resolve issues early before they become bigger problems.
-
Keep all decisions and changes in writing (texts/emails).
8. Inspect the WorkCheck:
