Do I need to move out during a full house renovation?
Short Answer
For major structural work or when all bathrooms and kitchens are being renovated, temporary relocation is usually recommended for safety and comfort.
Long Answer
Whether you need to relocate during renovation depends on the extent of work being undertaken and your personal comfort preferences. For comprehensive renovations involving major structural changes, electrical rewiring, or extensive dust-generating activities, temporary relocation is often recommended for safety and comfort reasons.
In cases where kitchens and bathrooms are being completely renovated simultaneously, living arrangements can become challenging without basic amenities. However, we often work with clients to phase renovations in a way that maintains access to essential facilities where possible.
We discuss accommodation options during the planning phase and can provide recommendations for temporary housing solutions. Our project managers work diligently to minimise disruption and, where feasible, create staging plans that allow you to remain in portions of your home throughout the renovation process.
