Planning and Budgeting for your home alterations Christchurch

When undertaking home alterations Christchurch, setting a budget and understanding where your more significant costs will come from is the first and most crucial step to take. In addition to identifying what you want to spend, you'll need to ensure that you have a buffer left over. As a rule, we recommend setting aside an amount equivalent to 10% of the project value to ensure you have a contingency for those items you may not want to spend money on but come up during the renovation process. It's better to have and not need than need and not have.

Prior to the projection beginning, it's essential to sit down and work out precisely what you want to achieve. A renovation for an investment property has a very different list of needs than a refurbishment of a long-time family home that you will continue living in for some time. One focuses on a design that will maximise your profit, and the other focuses on ensuring you have a comfortable living space that is specific to your needs and tastes.

If you're excited to start your home renovations in Christchurch and would like to understand the costs and budgeting requirements for a project of this size, it's time to get in touch with Trent Builders. Once the basics are covered, we can start turning your ideas into reality.
