Careful planning lowers costs

  • 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

Ways to stop costs spiralling:

Prevent costs spiralling checklist 1

Plan on paper

Once you have made your decisions, stick to them. Sudden changes of direction can have a negative impact on costs.

DIY

If you can take care of any jobs yourself, do so. Applying your skills – or learning new ones – can lead to significant savings.

Quotes help cut costs

Shopping around will give you a better idea of your options. So don’t settle on the first supplier or contractor you find.

Prevent costs spiralling checklist 2

Give contractors plenty of time

By planning well in advance and giving contractors notice, you may be able to lock in a lower fee for the project.

Quality can pay dividends

Skimping on materials could lead to costly problems down the line. Pay a little extra for higher quality.

Long-term energy efficiency

They may cost more now, but using energy efficient materials can mean savings in the long term.

Home Improvement loan checklist title

Home Improvement Loan guide

Home imprvement loan checklist

1

Match your plans with your goals
Are you absolutely sure that your plans will deliver what’s needed – for example, if converting your attic, will the new room be big enough for the purpose you’ve planned? Or if you’re adding insulation, be sure you understand how much money it could actually save you.

2

Clearly brief your contractors
Have you clearly briefed contractors? Vague plans and changes in plans in the middle of a project will result in higher costs.

3

Budget for unexpected costs
Always ensure that your project includes an emergency budget to cover unforeseen expenses. Pulling up floorboards or removing plaster from walls often brings unexpected problems that need fixing.

4

Set a realistic timeline
Give your contractors enough time. Racing to complete a job due to an unrealistic schedule can mean hiring costly extra resources. 

5

Check your suppliers’ credentials
Are your contractors up to the challenge? Make sure you get reviews from people who have had similar work done in the past.

6

Check the impact of your plan on your property’s BER
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. 

7

Get any necessary permissions If required
It’s essential that all planning permissions have been granted before you do any work. In some cases, work might have to be removed if permission is subsequently denied by a local authority.

8

Organise alternative accommodation if required
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.
