Start to plan your home renovation with Diagonal Renovations
A full home renovation isn't just about redecorating or changing your kitchen units; it’s about upgrading the very structure of your home to meet the modern standards for safety, comfort and efficiency.
While it can seem like a huge task, when the right plan is in place, it quickly becomes an enjoyable project to bring your vision to life.
To make the renovation process more manageable, Diagonal Renovations recommends approaching it as having three key pillars:
Each of these areas play a crucial role in transforming a house into a modern, functional and comfortable home.
Electrical systems are the often-ignored backbone of any home, providing the power that you need for all of your everyday essentials and comforts. Without a good electrical system in place, none of the following steps can work at their best. The top things to think about in this stage are:
A properly designed electrical system not only makes daily life easier and more pleasant, but also prevents the need for costly modifications down the line. By addressing your electrics at the first stage of renovation, you can future-proof your home, while creating a safe and cosy living environment.
Diagonal Renovations can help you with design ideas, or if you know what you want already, they can turn your vision into practical plans.
Plumbing and HVAC systems may be out-of-sight, but they are essential to a home's functionality, efficiency and comfort. During a total renovation, these systems often require a complete overhaul to meet modern standards and ensure long-term reliability. Key aspects to consider here include:
A properly planned plumbing and HVAC system will not only transform the comfort levels of your house. but also improve its energy efficiency. It's also always nice to know the new system will be reliable for years to come.
By building these systems into the renovation process, you create a home that is comfortable, sustainable and built to last, without causing unnecessary disruption later down the line.
With the electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems in place, you can start on the more fun task of bringing your home to life. This is where a construction site gets turned into a fully-finished, liveable space, with every detail designed to fit with your lifestyle and aesthetic choices.
This final stage is where the success of the renovation becomes visible. All of the essential work is returned to being behind-the-scenes, where it belongs, and your beautiful furniture and decor takes centre-stage.
