Careful planning lowers costs
With any home improvement project, costs can easily spin out of control. That’s why it’s so essential to plan and anticipate any issues that might make extra demands on your budget.
Being optimistic is great - but assuming everything will be fine can come with a hefty price tag.
Ways to stop costs spiralling:
Once you have made your decisions, stick to them. Sudden changes of direction can have a negative impact on costs.
If you can take care of any jobs yourself, do so. Applying your skills – or learning new ones – can lead to significant savings.
Shopping around will give you a better idea of your options. So don’t settle on the first supplier or contractor you find.
By planning well in advance and giving contractors notice, you may be able to lock in a lower fee for the project.
Skimping on materials could lead to costly problems down the line. Pay a little extra for higher quality.
Are you absolutely satisfied that your plans will deliver what’s needed – for example, if converting your attic, will the new room be large enough for the purpose you’ve planned? Or are you clear by how much you will save by retrofitting insulation?
Have you clearly briefed contractors such as architects and suppliers? Vague plans and changes-of-mind in the middle of a project will result in higher costs.
Always ensure that your project includes a contingency budget to cover unforeseen expenses. Pulling up floorboards or removing plaster from walls often reveals unexpected problems that need fixing.
Give your contractors enough time. Racing to complete a job due to an unrealistic schedule can mean hiring costly extra resources.
Are your contractors up to the challenge? Make sure you get testimonials from previous clients who have had similar work done.
BER is an important factor affecting your property’s value. When planning your improvement, try to ensure that the work will enhance your home’s overall energy efficiency.
It’s essential that all planning permissions have been granted before you do any work. In an extreme situation, work undertaken might have to be removed if permission is subsequently denied by a local authority.
Will you need to move out while your work is being done? If so, don’t wait until the last minute to arrange temporary accommodation.
