One of the most important steps in planning a bathroom renovation is to establish a budget.
Determine how much money you can reasonably afford to spend, then develop a budget as a planning tool.
Comparison shop for the larger items to help keep your expenses down.
When budgeting for a bathroom, don't forget to allow for labor, which usually ends up being approximately a third of a project's cost.
When it comes to remodeling, there can be all sorts of budget-busting surprises lurking behind the walls of a bathroom. It's wise to set a bit of money aside for problems that might arise.
Last minute changes, called "change orders," cost time and break budgets too, so give careful consideration to any mid-project revisions.
If the budget needs a trim, the first things to cut are the extras — little luxuries that would be nice, but aren't essential to the room's function.
