Comments (8)still think you are best talking to a cabinet maker , kitchen place that use "wood wood" to make pantry doors etc, you can also buy this product along with a lot of other building materials at Bunnings which builders go to for, same quality as else where just sometimes a bit cheaper because of the volume. We used this for holiday villas & 15yrs later still perfect...See MoreMoving a bathroom to the room next door?
Comments (6)ignoring any surprises expect to spend minimum $10,000-$20,000 and (ignoring the new tiles, taps, vanity, shower, toilet, taps, laundry tub etc) there'll be costs for demolition (NB asbestos needs a specialist), carpenter for restructuring walls, floors , doors and windows), electrican to relocate wiring for power, lighting, heating and ventilation, installation of new floor and wall linings and insulation, plumber to disconnect old and install new toilets, water pipes and fixtures, waterproofing of floors and walls, tiling, painting and everything else i've forgotten...a new bathroom is a big job needing a team of tradespeople and careful timing of each to arrive in specified order and, although it's possible to do some of the labouring work and sourcing taps and tiles etc as most of the work needs professionals this can be a job better handled by a professional bathroom company who should have a team of trades used to working in tandem.........even with everything working perfectly, expect to wait weeks for a finished product which will be a challenge if this is your only bathroom but, while you're making plans do you have a toilet downstairs?...See More70's floor plan, need to move master bedroom!
Comments (12)Hi Lucy, Typical situation here. A couple of things, without going into full depth you need to distinguish and separate (a) project design from (b) project construction...... Firstly, these types of projects can be challenging/involved on a number of levels. But first things first, Firstly, you need a design solution. At a glance you seem to have plenty of existing space, BUT reconfiguration of internal spaces can translate into higher than anticipated cost. It comes down to your specific family needs and ultimately your budget. You need to define/clarify your specific requirements or work with a design professional who can help you establish the detail required in order to resolve a design solution for you. Invariably it comes down to money and balancing out your specific needs in context to ensure the solution is developed to budget. We offer services that deal with & manage this critical front end stage of a project. Secondly, issue with trades and getting people to come and quote etc.....very often, the issue is not that they don't want to do the job, BUT the job actually is not clearly defined or is confusing and may appear too small to bother. However, when you have a properly and professionally documented and defined project on paper then it is actually relatively straight forward to find a reputable builder who will quote the project properly. There are numerous operators setup for various scaled and type of project and sure it's about finding the right one and it's horses for courses. But first things first, without a clear plan of attack you'll be going around in circles getting nowhere - my guess is that you've been trying to work it out yourself and tried to speak to builder or random trades, before actually focusing on the most important aspect of a project, which is the design. You can't expect to pull those guys in and ask them "what do you reckon?" "can we do this" "how much will it cost to...".etc......builders and trades form the "back end"of the projects, they are not "designers" however people seem to often pull them in first, when rather they should be discussing the yet to be defined project with either a designer or an architect. I hope this brief comment helps. If you are interested in further professional assistance and comments please don't hesitate to contact me directly for further information. We can provide concise front end services that are structured to address exactly this type of situation and provide clarity and options for your project that are properly costed in context. You get this stuff sorted/freed up, you'll be able to progress forward efficiently with the process. Cheers PD :)...See Moredifferentways
