Pre-Construction & Planning
Before starting your bathroom renovation, creating a plan is important. This helps ensure your project stays on track and delivers the desired results. Depending on the project’s complexity, the planning and design phases can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. This may involve the following:
a) Consultation
The bathroom remodeling process often begins with an initial consultation with our experts. At this stage, you can provide some basic details about the project, as well as your goals and expectations. We will then discuss your options, answer your questions, and help you understand our process. Our experts will schedule an on-site visit to your home and evaluate the scope of work. This can take one or two days.
b) Design and budget
Contractors will then work with you to create a design that adds beauty and function to your bathroom. You can also share a design you have in mind. We will also share more creative design ideas that will deliver the stunning bathroom remodel of your dreams. The contractor will also provide you with a detailed cost estimate for the project and help you obtain the necessary permits.
c) Materials and an estimated timeline
While you wait for the required permits to be approved, you can purchase materials. We also recommend informing your neighbors that you’ll be doing construction out of courtesy. The contractors will set a realistic timeline for the project, which should detail step-by-step timeframes and deadlines and be flexible to accommodate unexpected delays.
Factors Affecting Your Construction Timeline
The average timeframe for a complete bathroom renovation varies depending on the scope and finish level of the specific project. Every timeline will look different depending on the factors we’ll discuss below.
Is demolition involved?
Cosmetic demolition involves removing elements such as old toilets, which should take only a few hours. However, if your bathroom requires full demolition, it should take roughly two days.
Do I need an electrician?
If you are moving any plumbing or rerouting any electrical components. Plumbing and electrical work can typically take anywhere from 1-5 days. This may involve relocating plumbing for fixtures and changing the electrical layout. Electrical work may also require inspection, which could delay it further.
There is no set timeline
Small bathrooms with minimal changes may take as little as 3-4 weeks. However, some projects require additional work and might need more time. For example, you may want to install personal assistant devices or change the entire footprint of your bathroom. Also, remember that unexpected issues may delay the construction.
