How Long Does a Renovation Take? A Detailed Look at Our ProcessHOW2DESIGN4U.COM PTE LTD Interior Renovation, Design, Home Improvement Services and Products.

Renovating a home is an exciting yet complex process that requires careful planning, coordination, and execution. One of the most common concerns homeowners have is the duration of the renovation. While the timeline varies depending on factors such as project scope, design complexity, and material availability, our structured workflow ensures a smooth and efficient process.

At How 2 Design, we follow a well-defined process that involves multiple teams, each handling a crucial phase of the renovation. Here’s a detailed breakdown of our renovation journey, from the first inquiry to the final handover.

🔹 Step 1: Indoor Customer Service Team (1-2 Weeks)

Initial Consultation & Understanding Your Needs

Your renovation journey begins with our Indoor Customer Service Team, who will be your first point of contact. This stage is crucial for gathering information about your requirements, budget, and expectations.

✔️ Inquiry Handling – We listen to your ideas and renovation goals.

✔️ Basic Consultation – We discuss feasibility, estimated costs, and timelines.

✔️ Appointment Scheduling – We arrange for a site visit by our sales team.

💡 Pro Tip: Start early! The more time you allow for discussion and planning, the smoother the renovation will be.

🔹 Step 2: Site Sales Team (1-2 Weeks)

On-Site Evaluation & Budget Discussion

Our Site Sales Team will visit your home to assess the existing space and provide professional recommendations based on your needs.

✔️ Site Measurements – We take accurate dimensions for design and planning.

✔️ Space Evaluation – We check structural conditions, plumbing, and electrical points.

✔️ Budgeting & Cost Estimates – We provide a rough breakdown of renovation costs.

💡 Pro Tip: Be clear about your budget so we can suggest materials and designs that match your expectations.

🔹 Step 3: Design Team (2-4 Weeks)

Creating Your Dream Space

Once the initial discussions are complete, our Design Team steps in to transform your ideas into a practical and aesthetically pleasing design.

✔️ Concept Development – We create a theme based on your lifestyle.

✔️ 3D Visuals & Mood Boards – You get to see a preview of your new space.

✔️ Material Selection – We help you choose flooring, cabinets, fixtures, and finishes.

🔹 Step 4: Project Team (1-2 Weeks)

Planning, Permits & Scheduling

Before renovation begins, our Project Team ensures all necessary approvals and scheduling are in place.

✔️ Permit Applications – If hacking or structural work is required, approvals from HDB or relevant authorities are obtained.

✔️ Work Schedule Planning – We coordinate the timeline for each phase of renovation.

✔️ Material Procurement – We order materials to ensure timely delivery.

💡 Pro Tip: Some materials may have a longer lead time, so choosing them early helps prevent delays.

🔹 Step 5: Operation Phase 1 Team (4-6 Weeks)

Major Structural & Utility Work

The renovation officially kicks off with major construction work, handled by our Operation Phase 1 Team.

✔️ Hacking & Demolition – Removing old flooring, walls, and fixtures (if applicable).

✔️ Masonry Work – Installing new flooring, tiles, and walls.

✔️ Electrical & Plumbing Work – Setting up wiring, lighting points, air-con piping, and water supply.

✔️ Carpentry Measurement & Fabrication – Custom carpentry is measured and sent for fabrication.

💡 Pro Tip: This stage is usually the noisiest and messiest, so inform your neighbors in advance.

🔹 Step 6: Operation Phase 2 Team (2-3 Weeks)

Finishing & Installation

With the structural work done, our Operation Phase 2 Team focuses on the finer details that bring the renovation together.

✔️ Carpentry Installation – Custom cabinets, wardrobes, and storage units are installed.

✔️ Painting & Finishing Touches – Walls are painted, and final surface treatments are applied.

✔️ Cleaning & Handover – A deep cleaning is done before the final inspection.
