Step 9: Plan the installation and prepare for demolition
As mentioned, a lot goes into bathroom remodeling. Depending on the size and scope of your project, the process can take anywhere from six weeks to eight months or more, according to the National Kitchen and Bath Association. And while some of this can be done on the fly, you’re much better off being more prepared.
Ideally, every detail should be planned, and every material selected and ordered, before construction begins. The last thing you want is to be halfway through your remodel and tell your construction crew to take a two-week break while you wait for that back-ordered marble to arrive from Italy.
You’ll want to determine how things will flow and where things will generally be placed. You’ll need a dry area to store your materials, so you’ll need to plan where you’ll keep everything while construction is underway. Can you make space in your garage or on the side of your house?
Are you ready for a project and a break? What time will the workers be there and will someone be on site to answer questions and supervise construction? Will it affect your work or travel schedule? Where will you shower during construction? Who in your family will be available if something comes up? Consider how long the crew will be there and whether the materials will arrive on time. Any last-minute decisions should be prioritized to ensure a smooth project.
