Things To Consider Before Renovating Your House

Whether you live in DSR Eden Greens or are moving into DSR Waterscapes or are planning to invest in luxury apartments in Bangalore, there will come a time when you’ll be inspired to shake things up and upgrade your home. Sometimes the need might also arise out of necessities like additional family members or repairs that cannot be put off. Either way diving head first into renovations with unrealistic expectations and minimum planning can put a real damper on the whole process. So, here are certain things you must consider before starting any renovation project, big or small.

1.Decide who it’s for

Renovation projects are usually carried out for the resident (that’s you), a tenant or for potential buyers. If it’s for yourself make sure they add value to your living space and meet your lifestyle expectations. If it’s for a tenant consider changes that will attract as much rental income as possible. Instead of creating a beautiful home that will require a lot of maintenance, think about functional alterations like more storage and spacious rooms. If you’re looking to resell, then keep in mind your target buyers. If it’s a family then you might want to invest in a lawn and outdoor areas. If it’s for let’s say, a first time home owner or people who travel a lot, then concentrate on easy living solutions so that they won’t have to put in a lot of work after moving in.

2.Do your research

When you know who you’re renovating for, it is easier to think about what you want the space to look like. Factor in the functionality, structure and style of a space. Do a thorough research so you have a clear idea of what you want, from the colour palette, to the materials, to the furniture style, to the fitting etc. It also makes it easier for the designers and contractors to execute your vision.

3.Inspect your house first

Depending on what and where you’re renovating a thorough inspection of all the areas inside and outside your home is a must. Some of the aspects to include in your checklist are water seepage, dampness in kitchen sinks and cabinets, fungal growth, cracks in the walls, leaking pipes, insect infestation, broken tiles, waterproofing and electrical wirings and switch boards.

4.Set a budget

It is essential that you set a realistic budget. Make sure you take into account all the things you need and cost them individually. From small items like bathroom fitting to living room furniture. Draw up a contract with contractors regarding their services to avoid disputes later. That being said, also leave a contingency budget to accommodate unplanned expenses.

5.Set a timeline

Make a schedule for the project with your contractor so that it is easy to coordinate your timings.You might not be physically involved with the breaking and building, but you’ll have to be around to oversee the project, unless you hire someone to do that for you. Try your best to stick to it to avoid unnecessary delays. Like with costs it is likely that there might be unforeseen events that might push the plans, so factor that in as well.

6.Make alternative living arrangements

Depending on the scale of renovation you might need to make other arrangements. If it is a small renovation like a bathroom or kitchen then you can set up a makeshift kitchen in the dining hall and make do with other bathrooms in the house. If the project extends to most of the house the safest and most convenient option would be to move out for a while. You can find a 2 BHK apartment in Bangalore or a 3 BHK apartment in Bangalore that would meet your requirements.
