There are some factors when planning a home renovation that can come up at any moment as a surprise and that is why planning is so important.

Planning the RenovationThere are certain important factors that will influence the extent of the renovation. These factors can include whether or not to gut a room, the entire house or not gut at all. To determine whether you should gut or not, you need to look at the basics. Some factors that govern this part of planning a home renovation include:

• Budget: What is the sum of money you can lay aside or legitimately borrow to carry out the renovations? Will you have to borrow? Do you want to borrow? How will this affect your credit?• Purpose: Why are you planning a renovation? Is the purpose to make more room, better utilize existing space, modernize, or update? Is the intent to increase the value of the home for resale or to keep up with the neighbors?• Needs: What needs to be done to make the room functional, modern, or simply looking faddish?• Time: How long can you and/or your family live without access to certain parts of the home – particularly if it is the bathroom and the renovation is a complete one? Even if the completion time is short because it is not an extensive renovation, how long can you stay happy without access to that room?

These factors will guide you to make the best decision when planning a home renovation. They will all play a huge role in your renovation success.
