Most renovation delays we see are not caused by contractors. They are caused by fixtures arriving after the trades that need to install them have already moved on.

Week 0 to 2: key collection and measurement

Book a site measurement as soon as you collect keys. Outlet positions, ceiling heights and electrical points determine which products are even eligible.

Week 2 to 4: confirm concealed items

Concealed shower valves, wall-hung cisterns and recessed power tracks must be confirmed before tiling and carpentry. These are the items with the longest lead times.

Week 5 to 8: surface fittings

Basin mixers, shower sets, sinks and taps are installed after tiling. Order them by week five so they are on site when the plumber returns.

Week 8 onwards: fans, lighting and smart home

Ceiling fans, downlights, digital locks and laundry systems come last, after painting. Coordinate a single installation date to avoid repeated site visits.
