How Long Does a Home Renovation Take on Average?

The time depends on the scope. In Erdağ Yapı apartment renovations a cosmetic refresh such as painting and wallpapering takes a few days, and a full renovation including services and wet rooms can take 3 to 6 weeks. The exact time is given after the survey, once the items of work are known.

What decides the time

• Scope: services, demolition and tiling lengthen the job.
• Drying: the next job cannot start until screed, plaster, filler and paint have dried.
• Made-to-order items: kitchen units, doors and made-to-measure products have to be produced.
• Working hours: building rules limit noisy work to certain hours.
• Surprises: poor plaster or old pipework found after strip-out adds work.

How can the time be shortened?

1. Decide on materials and colours before work starts.
2. Have made-to-order items ordered on day one.
3. Do not change the scope during the work; every change moves the schedule.

Why does rushing do harm?

Parquet laid on screed that has not dried lifts, and paint applied over filler that has not dried cracks. Two days gained come back months later as repairs.

Is the schedule given in writing?

It should be. Erdağ Yapı shares the items of work, the materials and the time in writing at the start. For a survey in Bahçeşehir, Beylikdüzü and Başakşehir, contact us.
