• During the first stages, a home remodeling
  project can be really fun and exciting. Things
  like pinning some inspiration photos to get some
  cabinet style, flooring, painting palette, and
  bathroom tiles ideas. You get to imagine how you
  want your kitchen and bathroom would like after
  remodeling. And then, here comes the budget.
  Regardless of whether you have enough or limited
  funds for the project, you will still have to
  allocate a certain amount for each of the costs
  needed to complete the project. Here are some
  simple ideas that can help you budget your
  kitchen and bathroom remodeling costs.

Set the amount that you are willing to spend and
stick to it

• Setting and deciding how much you are willing to
  spend for remodeling and sticking to it is easier
  said than done. In setting a budget, you need to
  consider some factors. One factor to take into
  consideration is your finances. This will help
  you determine whether you can afford to carry out
  an upscale remodeling or not and know how much
  you can really afford. Another factor is the
  length of time you intend to live in your house.
  Are you planning to sell your house within three
  years or so? If yes, think of the renovation as
  an investment. That means, only set a budget that
  you think you can get back the moment you get
  your house sold. On the other end, if you plan to
  live in the house for a lifetime, consider a
  remodel project that will make you feel more
  comfortable living in your house.

Break down your budget

• Now that you already know your budget, the next
  puzzle that you need to solve is the breakdown of
  the entire budget. Most often, the labor cost can
  range from 20 to 35 of the total budget cost.
  On average, kitchen and bathroom remodeling
  project can have a cost breakdown of
• 30 percent for the cabinets
• 25 percent for the labor
• 20 percent for the appliances
• 10 percent for the windows
• 5 percent for the fixtures
• 3 percent for the fittings
• 7 percent for others

Keep the 20 of the budget for the unexpected

• Sometimes, you can't just get rid of unexpected
  costs. To be sure that you can stick to your
  budget even if something unexpected came up, be
  sure to allocate at least 20 of the budget for
  the unexpected circumstances.

7
Hiring contractor for small projects

• Decide whether you will hire a contractor to do
  small projects or do them yourself. Demolition
  jobs like taking out flooring, rearranging
  appliances and dismantling old cabinets are among
  the simple and small projects that you can do
  yourself.

8
Prioritize what needs to be renovated first

• Decide on what is the most important and what
  needs to be renovated first. Do you need to get
  new appliances? Upgrade your floor tiles? Install
  new cabinets? List down all the things you want
  to improve and prioritize them. This is to ensure
  that you still get to complete the most important
  in the list even if there are unexpected costs
  that may hit your budget.
