Renovating a house is a fantastic experience, but at the same time demanding. A construction site at home can indeed involve various inconveniences. Daily domestic life inevitably undergoes changes when work is in progress. Leaving the house during the work is not always easy, in some contexts it could even be impossible. However, with the right organization and proper planning, living at home during a renovation is possible, without particular stress. Let’s look together at some useful advice on how to renovate a house while continuing to live in it.

 

1. Plan and schedule

When undertaking the renovation of a house, planning is a fundamental matter. In this regard, the company responsible for the work must provide its clients with certain and detailed timelines for the execution of the works. It is essential to draw up a defined calendar of the construction site phases. This way, it will be easier to organize and communicate with the technicians involved in the project. Different precautions will be taken for each step.

 

2. Consult with the construction company and technicians

It is very important to consult with those who will carry out the renovation work of the house you live in. Before the construction site is opened, consult with the technicians immediately, clearly stating what your needs are. Agree on working hours, always stay informed about the planned work. Find a trusted contact, who will be your point of reference throughout the entire renovation.

 

3. Inform your neighbors about the renovation work

Also inform your neighbors about the planned work, sending an apology notice for the work. Maintaining good neighborly relations is fundamental. This way it will be easier to obtain the availability and collaboration of your neighbors during the execution of the renovation works.

 

4. Separate spaces and protect surfaces

Isolate the areas of the house where specific work is planned, in order to minimize the inconvenience of dust, loud noises, or other inconveniences connected to construction site activities. Use dividers, protect domestic surfaces with plastic sheets, avoiding stains or dust accumulation.

 

5. Clear domestic spaces

Clear domestic spaces as much as possible. During renovation work, it is very likely that living space will be limited in various ways. Avoid accumulating objects in other rooms, making them impractical. Reduce unnecessary objects present in the house to a minimum, using furniture and storage containers. Try to always maintain order, take advantage of the renovation for a major domestic decluttering operation, or rely on specialized companies that will store furniture, objects and personal belongings of various kinds in safe and supervised places for the entire duration of the renovation.
