A villa renovation usually moves through four stages. Knowing them helps you plan your time and decisions.
The four stages
1. Site survey and design: layouts, materials and lighting.
2. Approvals: community or developer approvals where needed.
3. Works: joinery, MEP, flooring, ceilings and finishes.
4. Snagging and handover: a final check of every room before you move back in.
Tip
Choose a contractor with its own joinery workshop. Kitchens, wardrobes and wall panelling are where most of the quality and time is won or lost.
