Why can renovation become stressful?

A renovation project is exciting, but it can also be a source of stress: extended deadlines, unforeseen budgets, dealing with contractors… Fortunately, with the right preparation and a few tips, it’s possible to live through the experience serenely.

How do you prepare for a renovation project?

To avoid unpleasant surprises, here are a few practical tips that are easy to apply:

• Set a realistic budget and allow for unforeseen circumstances.
• Plan the stages of the project with a precise timetable.
• Choose a reliable contractor by checking references and licenses.
• Find out about deadlines and necessary permits.

Good preparation means you can better anticipate unexpected events and ensure a smoother project.

What are the most common unforeseen events in renovation?

Even if you’re well prepared for every eventuality, renovations often bring surprises. Here are the most common ones:

• Extended deadlines due to delivery of materials or weather conditions.
• Structural discoveries such as hidden load-bearing walls or faulty plumbing.
• Budget overruns due to changes in plans along the way.

By working with an experienced professional like Construction Précellence, these unforeseen events are better managed and minimized.
