Planning a bathroom renovation is equal parts exciting and daunting. It’s fun to explore styles, colors and luxury features, but you also have to make sure the technical aspects of the project are covered. Take the remodeling timeline, for instance. It’s a crucial detail in every bathroom quote that helps determine just how long your project will take. If you want an accurate renovation timeline, first learn more about the factors that can affect it.
1. Project scope. Are you planning a cosmetic makeover or a full bath renovation? If it’s the former, then most of the work will be limited to new tilework, fixtures such as faucets and showerheads, the toilet and the vanity. Because these alterations are minimal, the project timeline will often be shorter — usually from three to five days.
2. System changes. On the other hand, if it’s a full bathroom remodel, the work will generally take longer. That’s because this involves making changes to the existing plumbing and electric infrastructure. But that’s not all — a complete bathroom renovation will require permits, which means there will be inspections. This, in turn, means you’ll need to wait a fair bit of time before the actual work can start. The process of removal, demolition, disposal, replacement and installation will add more days to the schedule.
3. Unexpected setbacks. Unwelcome surprises are not uncommon in a bathroom remodel. Issues with plumbing and electrical wiring and even water damage can set your project back a few days. These problems will need to be addressed and repaired before the work can proceed. Otherwise, they could lead to further damage and expenses later on.
4. Change orders. Bathroom remodels sometimes get off track and go over budget because of change orders. They cause delays that extend the project timeline. You’ll want to avoid change orders, so make sure every design, feature or product is thoroughly researched and finalized.
