Hello Sonu,

For the starters, you may try the following steps :

1- List down the areas that you think are issues in current house.
2- Prepare a additions/modifications wish list. You will need a floor plan of the property for a professional help.
3- Earmark your budget and timelines for the work. Renovations have surprises so keep a contingency fund earmarked.
4- Identify your professional partners . It is better to go by a word of mouth recommendation than marketing buzzes.
5- Invite a quotation and then decide the further course of actions.

This should be good for starters...once you are through with this we can plan further.

Tip: Renovation is a pain, so you may try renting a temporary stay for the family.

Thanks,

The very first thing to be done while starting renovation is to collect images/photos of your dream villa from the internet or from any neighbouring site, that suits your style and way of living.

See what all components i.e. furniture and furnishings i.e. door window, flooring, electrical fixtures, false ceiling, wall paints, fabrics, a.c. and modern amenities that you want to accommodate, their material, colour and texture, because that is what will serve as the foundation for your budget.

The budget is the most important thing in this kind of projects.

The budget vs your dream. for e.g. if you have imagined using wood, or some italian marble (which are quite expensive) in your home but if it doesn't go according to your budget then you must keep your alternatives listed and researched very well., which is the key consideration before starting any renovation project.

Also the civil modifications take a very long time and also become expensive these days. The lesser the modifications the more economical the budget.

Hi Sonu,

- list down your requirements; what you want to achieve and overcome with this renovation.
-set a budget limitation
-try to balance out, what could be possible and what couldn't be in that budget.

Provide this information to the professionals you are looking for, only then you will get the insights from different professional.
Then see who fits best into your frame and providing best solutions and services in the given frame.

thank you so much
