What things do you need to consider for kitchen renovation?
by Eddy Wednesday October 20th 2021
I'm always excited to see what the next generation of designers are creating and digging into the latest architectural trends. The interior design world is constantly evolving, and I like to keep up with it. The problem with being fashionable is that you need to be clever with your fit-out to ensure no money is wasted.
Most families consider the kitchen is the centre of every house, it should be both practical and appealing.
Did you know kitchens are the most often remodelled rooms in Australian houses. A renovated kitchen is also an excellent method to increase the value of your house when the time comes to sell.
So You've decided that it's time to renovate your kitchen.
It's important to ensure that any renovation you do is suitable for you, good for your house, and done to the highest possible level.
Otherwise, it may wind up costing you considerably more money, effort, and sorrow than it is worth.
How can I avoid kitchen renovation stress?
In my view, the "ideal" way to deal with such issues is to have an open and honest conversation. Ask the contractor what some of the likely costs might be. For example, he might be able to give you a rough estimate on the price of extra materials or labour. Then he can warn you if you seem to be exceeding your budget.
Making changes after work begins. Ideally, you'd be 100% happy with the design of your new kitchen before the work starts to avoid extra costs from changes you make during the project (choice.com.au)
To avoid overcapitalising, a common rule of thumb is to spend between 5 and 10% of your property's total value on the renovation (choice.com.au)
Similarly, you can tell the contractor what your budget is. Maybe he can help you design a kitchen within that budget.
To DIY or not!
If you are considering a strip-out of your old kitchen and replacing with a flat pack and installing the appliances, consider a pro for the installation f some items like the cabinents and splashbacks. These can be easy to make a mess of,
It is feasible to effectively rebuild your own kitchen, depending on your skill level and the length of the kitchen makeover, especially for cosmetic improvements such as changing wall tiles and grout, painting, and even adding cabinets.
It's critical to plan ahead of time for one of the largest and most significant home renovation projects you'll ever do.
And this kitchen remodelling checklist will assist you in comprehending the many stages of the project, allowing you to make the finest quality and financial selections possible.
Your new kitchen has been planned, the necessary building permissions have been obtained, and the supplies are on their way to you.
What Does a Kitchen Strip-out Involve?
The first stage of the remodelling is pulling down the old kitchen and discarding all non-recyclable components.
Kitchen cabinet removal, whitegoods, and all rubbish can be removed by a rubbish removal service.
This will include removing items from inside the premises, collecting all junk and rubbish and packing it into a truck for disposal of the waste.
Homeowners frequently undertake this task in order to decrease total expenses, but be aware that a kitchen tear down may become difficult, and skip bins or taking the junk to the tip yourself can be awkward and expensive as disposal fees are levied per weight and volume.
After the cabinets, tile backsplash, and flooring have been removed; repairs are frequently required.
Expect to notice holes in the drywall that will need to be patched, gouges, scrapes, scratches in the walls and subfloors, and ceiling damage that will need to be repaired before the kitchen restoration can begin.
It's best to clean up the area completely prior to any inspection.
This allows your contractor to fully assess the damage and arrange for structural repairs that will support your new kitchen features.
Additional wiring or rewiring is required for new kitchen lighting and moving and installing existing appliances necessitates electrical work.
You will need to hire an electrician for this project, or ask your kitchen renovation contractor to subcontract the work to a qualified electrician.

How do I prevent kitchen renovation delays?
There are a few things you can do BEFORE you start your remodelling.
Find a trustworthy builder or General Contractor, work with them to coordinate all processes from tear down to final payment, and emphasise upon them the necessity of finishing on time or ahead of schedule.
We work with contractors making the Strip-out process easy for you. Or you can employ us directly; either way, we will coordinate with your building schedule.
If you need products that will take a long time to arrive, place your purchase as soon as feasible.
Ensure that all permits are submitted and that you deal with your councils' building department
Once a timetable is set, keep track of the long-lead items, make sure the subcontractors are lined up, and remove any breakables, furniture, or other objects that are not required for the remodelling.
All of these measures can help keep your new kitchen on schedule, but the most essential thing you can do if time is of the essence is to give a monetary incentive for finishing parts of the project on time.
Working with a trustworthy builder is key.
I gathered at least five quotations from separate builders.
This will provide a good idea of the actual cost and allow us to see which builder we could best develop a 'rapport' with. It is critical that your builder is easy to get along with, is willing to LISTEN to you and what you want, and is flexible with ideas and any changes that may be made.
Stress may be reduced through careful preparation, patience, and adaptability.
