Budgeting Simple With This 5 Practical Tips
2- While some can well afford to buy those things
that they want for their dream kitchen and
bathroom, some may crash down to what is more
affordable. Here are a few ways to budget your
kitchen and bathroom remodeling costs.
3- 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.
4Set 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.
5Break 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
6Keep 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.
7Hiring 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.
8Prioritize 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.
