A washroom refurbishment is a stressful process for most people. It can be challenging to know where to start, what materials you need, and how long it will take. However, with the proper knowledge and preparations, you can achieve an easy, stress-free renovation in three stages:

• Planning
• Preparation
• Construction

Planning Stage

The first step to any renovation is planning. Planning is the only stage not requiring materials, but it will set you up for success in all other stages. A proper plan can save a lot of time and money if the project goes smoothly from start to finish.

On-site Survey

An on-site survey will help to give you an idea of the scope and magnitude of your project. You can also use it to identify any problems with the piping, electrical wiring, or other issues that will need more attention. Measuring your current washroom and sketching your plans are also essential tasks as they will help keep you organised.

Computer-Aided Design Drawings

Computer-aided design drawings will save you time and resources on your project. Computer engineers can create a virtual washroom model that is as close to scale as possible, allowing for accurate measurements and calculations before any physical work begins. With this plan in place, there should be no surprises when installing materials or fixtures.

Mapping Out Pipework

With a site survey and measuring done, you can now map out the pipework for your new washroom. Next, consider the availability of water supply to the building and any drainage pipes that need repair or replacement.

You can do the electrical work before the installation of plumbing to reduce any chance of disruption. You should hire an electrician for this as they are experts in their field and will help keep things running smoothly during your washroom renovation.

Enough Space Allocated for Thoroughfares, Turning and Manoeuvring

When designing the layout of your new washroom, make sure there is enough space allocated for thoroughfares, turning and manoeuvring. It will ensure that you have ample room to move around without bumping into furniture or walls.

A good rule of thumb is to allow enough room to walk between the sink and mirror without bumping into any obstacles when planning for vanity units. In addition, washroom cubicles should be at least two feet in width. And duct sets should be designed to clear a washroom wall or obstruction by at least six inches.

Preparation Stage

Before starting construction on your washroom, ensure you have the supplies you need to complete all tasks. Before any construction begins, take inventory of your existing restroom and decide what you can do before you start.

Construction Stage

The final stage is the completion of installation with materials from the preparation stage. Again, the process may seem daunting, but proper planning will guide you through smoothly.

The Execution

Now that you have your materials and plan in place, you are ready to start installing. Start by placing your new fixtures according to the program in a location that leaves enough room for plumbing and electrical work before moving on to drywall installation or painting, whichever is necessary.

In conclusion, an easy way to ensure your washroom renovation goes smoothly is by following three stages: planning, preparation, and construction. With the proper knowledge, you will be able to complete these tasks stress-free with no surprises along the way.
