We’ve talked to industry insiders and experts, and have put together a list of our top 5 tips for getting started your spring home renovations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Spring home renovations<\/h2>\n

Coming out of a cold winter, spring home renovations may seem like a daunting prospect.\u00a0 Yes, you’ve been thinking about it for months, years even. In your mind’s eye, you can see the fixtures, fittings and flooring coming together beautifully.\u00a0 You know you want to get cracking on the task, but you’re not sure where to begin.<\/p>\n

1. Prioritise<\/h3>\n

Create a list of your must haves and don\u2019t compromise. You\u2019ll be happier cutting some things out completely, than ending up with everything being \u2018not quite what you had in mind\u2019.<\/p>\n

Pinterest<\/a> is a valuable resource for inspiration and creating a virtual scrapbook of ideas.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Timing<\/h3>\n

Think about everything affecting the timing of your home renovation project. If your home needs to be exposed to the weather, then perhaps a late spring start would be best.<\/p>\n

Be smart and post a job with Builderscrack<\/a> to source and manage tradies while you’re away.\u00a0 You can message, review quotes and schedule appointments direct from your mobile device.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Living amongst it<\/h3>\n

If you are planning on living in any of the areas where work is going on, this is bound to shorten your patience. Be realistic when you think about how renovations can affect your living situation and decide if it’s possible to live amongst it all.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

4. Budget<\/h3>\n

When planning a realistic budget, consider all the elements affected by your spring renovation project. Think about the quality of the finishings that are on your list of must-haves and decide whether you\u2019re going to move out while the tradies are working.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. You get what you pay for<\/h3>\n

\"spring<\/a>Use Builderscrack to get an estimate<\/a>, then post a job<\/a> and get up to 3 free quotes. Remember that the cheapest quote isn\u2019t always the best.\u00a0 Check tradesperson reviews<\/a>, read tips on hiring a tradie<\/a> and what you need to know about the Building Amendment Act<\/a>.<\/p>\n
