Whether you’re replacing your kitchen benchtop to freshen up your space or are building your dream kitchen from scratch, benchtop installation can be exciting. While these installations are a necessary step in kitchen renovations, they can cause major headaches if you don’t take the proper steps to prepare.
At The Benchtop Guys, we are experienced professionals when it comes to benchtop installation in Auckland. Here are some points to help you prepare for your kitchen benchtop installation.
Double Check Your Design
Before the time comes for installation, check and recheck your designs. Now is the time to spot any mistakes and address them with your building company before it’s too late.
Pack Away Kitchen Items
Of course, you will need to pack away your kitchen items. Rather than packing them haphazardly into boxes, keep track of which items go where by keeping a list of items on the box itself. That way, you can find what you need at a moment’s notice, and unpacking will be as easy as it can be.
Clear Space For The Installers And Their Materials
Once your kitchen is packed up, make space for your builders to move, work, transport and store their materials. Talk to your contractor to find out how much space they will need and what kind of storage conditions are best.
Expect Delays
When it comes to construction and renovations, things rarely go to plan and on schedule. Whether materials that have been ordered don’t come in on time or a mistake nobody expected occurs, it’s important to leave time in your schedule for delays and pad your budget with a bit of a cushion to account for unexpected emergency expenses.
Have A Plan In Place
Knowing that your kitchen will soon be out of commission, it’s important to have plans in place for cooking, cleaning and such. Whether you decide to barbeque until the work is completed and wash dishes in the bathroom sink or decide to stay with a friend or family member until your kitchen is usable once more, make the necessary arrangements before installations begin.
Be Sure That You Are Working With The Best
When starting any renovation, getting to know the company doing your fabricating and installations is a must. Doing your research, checking up on references and looking at previous work for high-quality finishes and attention to detail are all important steps to take.
