Planning a Home Renovation Budget That Holds

Contingencies, priorities and phasing — a homeowner's guide to renovating without unpleasant surprises.

Planning a Home Renovation Budget That Holds

Start with priorities

List must-haves versus nice-to-haves. It keeps decisions clear when trade-offs arise.

Keep a contingency

Set aside 10–15% for unknowns, particularly in older homes where hidden issues are common.

Phase wisely

Do structural and services work first. Finishes can be phased later without rework.
