Doing renovations at home, even in our second home, is very stressful because in addition to altering our routine, we have to face a few days or months of noise, dust, people coming and going, and general chaos that can drive people crazy. lovers of order. In addition, unforeseen events and inconveniences may arise that make everything more complicated and exasperating. One way to make the renovation process easier and more bearable is to do thorough prior planning. These are the aspects that must be well organized.
What are we going to renovate in our second residence?
Before starting we have to stop and think and be very clear about what exactly we want to reform. Very often it happens that once the work has started, it is decided on the fly to extend the renovation to other parts of the house. “Since we are…” But this is not a good idea since it can lead to unforeseen problems or to us going over the budget we had planned to invest. Furthermore, the works will be prolonged in time and the stress will begin to make an appearance. So, to prevent all this from happening, we will take a pencil and paper, and write down all the changes we want to make at home. But we will also assess the objective and need for each of the reforms we have in mind. What type of improvement does it imply? It is urgent? What is most necessary? Will it improve my quality of life? Thanks to these approaches we will be able to have much clearer objectives and in this way better calculate our budget.
How are we going to renovate the spaces?
Another point that we have to be clear about is the new look that we want to give to our house. We can turn to decoration magazines and gather photos of spaces, decorations and rooms that we like and inspire us, and create a vision board. On the Internet we can also find a lot of inspiration in photos or videos, which we will save in an album. These will help us be clearer about what we want and direct the reform towards that aspect we want to achieve in our home.
Define a budget for the renovation of your apartment or house in Roses
Everything depends on money, that's how things are, so the reform will be determined by the amount of budget we can invest. Before starting, we must do the math very seriously, assess whether we have enough and, in the case of resorting to credit, be very clear about how long we want to pay installments and if we can afford to face a debt. If we have not stopped to make calculations, we run the risk of the work being paralyzed due to lack of budget.
Turn to professionals
Some renovations require the supervision of professionals, so it is better to consult with an engineer or architect who can assure us that the project is viable and safe. They can also advise us on certain details that will help make the result better. Trying to save some money in this part can cause things to not go as planned and in the end, it will be more expensive.
Obtain the necessary permits to carry out the reforms and works
Before starting, you must find out about all the permits that we will need to start the work. There are different types of license that depend on the type of work. • Major works. If a structural change is made to the property or exterior doors or windows are going to be opened. • Minor works. Renovations in kitchens, bathrooms, floors, etc. These licenses are granted by the City Council of each municipality and have a cost. It is a procedure that can be entrusted to the company that is going to carry out the renovation.
Involve
Starting a work and ignoring it is not the best idea. It is advisable to try to keep an eye on how the work is progressing, whether the instructions are being followed or whether they are adjusting to the established times.
Choose when to start
Choosing the exact moment in which we want to start the work can make everything substantially simpler. To begin, you must plan a time frame, taking into account that it is very likely that the works will take a little longer than expected to finish. Some jobs, such as painting, heating installation, etc. It is better to do them at certain times of the year. On the other hand, we must think about the availability we will have to carry out procedures, meet with staff or, in short, get involved in the process. And of course, we will try to avoid starting works during times of stress, such as periods with a higher workload or other responsibilities. In short, rebuilding or renovating a home is a project that must be planned in detail. We must be realistic about money, have very clear ideas, and hire experts to ensure quality work.
