Planning-home-improvements
Preliminary investigation
Preliminary exams include tips for analyzing your existing home and outline the considerations before you start planning your upgrade. Upgrading can be expensive, but costs can be greatly reduced by getting expert advice and choosing carefully.
Weather friendly improvements
Climate design information and a climate zone map is a good place to discover and understand how to adapt your home to work with your climate, rather than against it.
Is there a need for heating, cooling, or both?
How to achieve an ideal level of thermal comfort?
Determine the heating and cooling needs of your home.
Consider the heating and cooling needs of your family's room and bedroom to understand where heating and cooling are needed. Let the experts advise you on the best heating and cooling strategies to effectively meet these requirements at different stages of your renovation.
Make sure you get thermal comfort with the lowest operating costs at each stage, which is the heart of your decision making. Passive heating and cooling is free, but upgrading a home for better thermal comfort (more stars under the National House Energy Rating System (NatHERS)) costs money, but reward with lower energy costs, especially in climates with high additional heating or cooling requirements (see climate design).
The cost of improving the rating of a poorly performing home varies widely. Good planning can significantly reduce these costs and add value to your home.
Build your dream home in a few affordable steps
A well-planned and organized trip, with your home meeting your needs at every stage of your life, often offers a more affordable, comfortable and flexible lifestyle (see Affordability).
A backscatter exercise can be a useful way to explore your needs and the options to meet them.
The broadcast begins with developing a vision for your ideal future home and identifying all the steps that may be necessary to achieve what you need and can now afford.
Start with a vision of your ideal home and come back to find out how you can get there.
The purpose of this exercise is to identify and prioritize the traits and inclusions that fit your needs and each situation in your life, rather than trying to find and finance accommodations that initially satisfy everyone.
The rebroadcast often shows how the early inclusion of long-lasting features that improve convenience, reduce bills, and contribute to mortgage payments can create more flexible and affordable options. It is also likely to highlight the importance of location. Being close to everything you need, including good public transportation, helps reduce the cost of living.
Sustainable ways to access your permanent home can include buying a home that meets your current needs and moving to another as your needs change, or choosing a smaller one that meets your current needs and has good adaptation potential.
Affordability includes information on life cycle costs for the various recommended improvements to your home.
Explore the cost of improvement opportunities
Do your homework at the likely cost of changes, updates and additions before planning your improvements. Evaluate the range of costs associated with the following:
Repairs, maintenance and repairs: removal of rising moisture, laying of foundations, repair of structural cracks, protection against termites and replacement of floors, walls, windows, ceilings or roofs
Renewal of long-lasting features, including exterior shading for difficult windows; Insulation, replacement of windows, protection against drafts, rainwater tanks, stellar toilets, accessories and water devices; Improvements in indoor air quality.
Minor renovations and improvements: bathroom, kitchen, hot water service, heating and cooling system, storage and cabinets, renovation and furniture.
Big renovations and additions - Talk to friends who have renovated or call some builders for a range of costs per square meter.
Refine your order
Preliminary reviews describe how to develop an order for your designer. Add your DIY analysis and research results to your order. You should now have a clear idea of your non-negotiable characteristics, preferences or desires, and the approximate cost of adding these characteristics if you are not already in your own home.
Develop a comprehensive conceptual plan for your home.
Well planned and performed DIY work gives added value to the house. Poor planning and execution wastes valuable money and resources.
In your rear projection exercise, you identified concepts for turning your existing home into a comfortable, eco-friendly home with low operating costs.
Now you need to translate these concepts into achievable goals by developing a long-term strategy that will help you realize your dream from concept to completion in affordable phases that meet your needs and available budget.
Customize the four-step process described below:
Get the cheapest updates first
Plan major renovations and additions effectively
Eliminate or minimize missed opportunities and duplicates.
From the beginning, define sustainable development goals and strategies and take environmental performance into account at each stage of the process. Don't treat it as a "snap" in the end.
The needs of each home are unique. Make sure your strategy prioritizes your improvements in each of these categories:

a demolition plan with sections that will break or be damaged in future additions so you don't renew them
A comprehensive plan that shows how the house works and meets the lifestyle and storage needs (including outdoor living spaces) listed in your letter after the renovation is complete or at each step of the renovation by stages.
