Description

Ever wondered what really happens after your remodel design is done? In this episode, I’m breaking down the order of operations for a renovation—from demo day to final inspections—so you can understand exactly what to expect once construction begins.


As a designer and project manager, I’ve learned (often the hard way!) how important it is to know which trades come when, how long each phase takes, and why certain steps can’t happen out of order. Whether you’re planning a kitchen remodel, a bathroom update, or a full home renovation, this episode walks you through the entire project timeline so you can stay organized, avoid costly mistakes, and communicate confidently with your contractors.


You’ll learn:




  • The full step-by-step remodel construction timeline




  • Who comes into your home during each phase and what they’re doing




  • Common scheduling pitfalls (and how to avoid them!)




  • How to ask the right questions to keep your project running smoothly




If you’re managing your own renovation or simply want to better understand the behind-the-scenes process, this episode will give you a clear roadmap from demo to done.
