Depending on the scale of the renovation, but in most cases no. We can work around you and organise a schedule that will adapt to your lifestyle and family as best as possible. If there is a need to move out during renovation we will try to schedule around a time you might be on holiday or able to stay with family or friends.

During your first initial discussion with Inline Building & Renovations we will usually inform you of our lead time to start any new possible projects. When quoting we can be more precise once we have established lead times for your materials and contractors needed. Once the contracts are signed, we can schedule your renovation with the above in mind. In the month prior to commencement, we will be in contact numerous times confirming details of your renovation and start time. However, although our starting date is usually kept to, at times it will vary due to unforeseen delays that cannot be prevented prior to your renovation eg. weather or material delays. If these circumstances occurs we will always contact you immediately and keep you updated with a new commencement date.

Your budget: Make sure to have a clear budget in mind before starting any renovation work. You don't want to run out of funds halfway through the project. The extent of the renovation: Determine how much you want to renovate and whether it includes structural changes or not. These will affect time, permits and overall costs. Building codes and permits: Ensure you have all relevant permissions and permits from your local council related to zoning ordinances, building codes, planning permissions and construction permits before commencing any work. Professional assistance: Consider the type of renovation; cosmetic or major; and hire a qualified builder or tradesperson who has appropriate licenses to undertake the work. Time frame: Carry out extensive research on how long the renovation will take and plan accordingly. Don't rush through the project and factor in unexpected delays that may arise.

The length of the renovation project depends on the size and scope of your project. Simple projects such as retiling a bathroom could take a few days to a week. Extensive projects like adding an addition or gutting and rebuilding a home can take months or even years. A qualified builder can provide an estimated turnaround time but allow for more time than originally projected for any unforeseeable events that might arise.

Living in your home while major renovations take place is entirely possible, but expect it to be disruptive. Plan ahead to set up temporary living quarters and have realistic expectations as renovation work can be messy and stressful. For renovations that include structural changes, it's best to move out of your home momentarily to give the builder more room to work and keep your family safe.

Small cosmetic renovations such as painting walls, laying flooring or installing light fixtures can be doable, but more significant works such as structural modifications, electrical installations and plumbing work, should always be left to professionals. It is important to have qualified professionals undertake the process to satisfy the legal requirements, which include adhering to building codes and obtaining relevant permits.
