Congratulations! You’ve decided to embark on a bathroom renovation project, bringing you one step closer to creating your dream space. But before the demolition begins, there’s crucial preparation work to ensure a smooth and stress-free renovation process. This guide will walk you through the common steps involved in getting your home ready for Northbuilt Construction’s expert renovation team.
Step 1: Document Your Existing Bathroom
Before anything changes, take a moment to capture the “before” picture. Snapshots will not only be a sentimental keepsake but also a valuable reference point for you and the Northbuilt design team throughout the renovation project.
Step 2: Declutter and Organize
A successful renovation thrives on space. Remove all non-essential items from your bathroom. Consider donating or selling gently used belongings and placing frequently used toiletries in a designated storage area.
Step 3: Decide on Storage Solutions
Depending on the scale of your house renovation project, you might need temporary storage for furniture and belongings. Northbuilt can help you assess your storage needs and recommend options like renting a storage unit or utilizing spare rooms within your home.
Step 4: Plan Accessibility for Essential Items
Identify the toiletries and bathroom essentials you’ll need daily during the renovation. Create a designated, easily accessible space for these items within your home. This could be a spare bathroom, a designated cabinet in the kitchen, or a portable caddy.
Step 5: Discuss the Renovation Plan with Northbuilt
Communication is key! Schedule a meeting with your Northbuilt project manager to discuss the renovation plan in detail. This includes:
- The work schedule: Understand the sequence of work and which areas will be accessible during different stages of the renovation process.
- Dust control measures: Discuss Northbuilt’s dust control strategies to minimize disruption in your living space.
- Safety protocols: Northbuilt prioritizes safety. Go over any safety measures you or your family members need to be aware of during the renovation.
Step 6: Prepare Your Home for Construction
- Clear walkways: Create a designated path for workers to access the bathroom without walking through other parts of your house. You can use plastic sheeting or cardboard to protect your floors.
- Inform your neighbors: Courtesy goes a long way. Tell your neighbors about the upcoming renovation, including the expected timeline and potential noise levels.
- Consider security: Discuss key management and access procedures with your Northbuilt project manager.
Step 7: Decide Whether to Stay or Go
Renovations can be disruptive. Evaluate your needs and comfort level. Discuss with Northbuilt if staying at home during the renovation is feasible, considering factors like access to essential utilities and dust control.
Step 8: Embrace the Journey!
Renovations can be exciting! While there will be some disruption, keep your eye on the prize – your beautiful, new bathroom. Northbuilt Construction is here to guide you through every step of the process, ensuring a smooth and successful renovation project.
