Renovation of a house is important for a good result. The process of renovation of a home can be mind-bending. Careful planning should always be the first step in any home renovation project. When it comes to tips for renovating an entire house, planning, budgeting, getting permits and choosing contractors are crucial areas.

So users, what are the things to keep in mind while renovating a home?

Design and Planning

idea posted by Anjali Bhatia Construction-Heavy, Sobha Developers

Whether it's a sketch on a cocktail napkin or full-blown architectural plans, some type of planning and design always comes first.

    * Ensure that you have funding for your renovation.
    * Draw up a simple "yes/no" list of do-it-yourself projects and projects you want professionals to do.
    * Look for contractors and subcontractors for those jobs you do not want to do yourself.
    * Apply for permits.

I think Design & Planning. It may take you forever to find a plot to your liking and budget and location. Plan properly in what you have and I am sure anyone can have a perfectly good home.

Building Saferty

idea posted by Anand Mundhada B.Arch, (India) M.Sc Const. Mgmt. (UK)

I do believe Builty safety or building structure is important issues to give attention while renovating the any old building.

We came across so many cases perticularly in mumbai and other metro cities where owner neglect the structural aspect and causes a great damage to building. They changed the crusial structure elements and later it would result into collapsing the whole building. So do not try to alter the important structural element. Take a advise of structure cunsultant.

In addition to above, planning and budget are other issues which need to be keep in mind. If one can planning and design thoughfully, he could save lot money.
