Why DIY your kitchen renovation?
A kitchen renovation is an exciting new project! One of the biggest questions before you get started is – do I DIY, or do I go for a full service solution?
Each project is unique, and the answer depends on a number of factors. Here are the key reasons for why to DIY for your kitchen renovation, or cabinetry project!
Take out the middle person
By project managing your kitchen renovation yourself, you take out the need for a middle man, who would otherwise be charging a fee for their services. All you need is to be organised, and have a list of the works and trades you will need, and in what order.
We recommend you contact your trades well in advance of your project starting, to check their availability and gain any tips or insights from their experience.
Add value to your home, cost-effectively
Renovating a kitchen adds value to your home. When done by DIY, you’re saving $$$ on services and some trades, which can be used elsewhere on other home improvement projects, or kept in the bank!
Note, there are some plumbing and electrical tasks that require qualified trades to complete the work and cannot be DIY.
