This page is perfect for documenting order dates, delivery dates and install dates so you can keep everything on track. Whether you are DIYing a kitchen remodel or not, there will be a lot of parts to keep track of. The last part of the printable kitchen planning tools is the timeline. And if you don’t need it, then you will come in under budget and that is always a good thing! Plan for at least 10-20% contingency budget to give you a little wiggle room in the budget. Or if you need to hire out something you were not planning because you get in over your head. You just never know what you will discover when you open a wall (we found mold in our master bathroom when we opened it up). I will be sharing the budget details of this remodel with you as well because I know that is such an important thing to consider if you are looking to do your own kitchen remodel.Īlso, always add a contingency to any remodel budget. But we are completely gutting our kitchen, removing a drop ceiling and 2 awful pantries, adding 16′ of kitchen cabinets.Īnd since the space is open to our dining room we have to include elements of that room in the remodel as well. This is a big number and way more than most of our remodel projects. Then we will have more money in the budget to hire out the things I cannot do like installing quartz countertops or for the things I hate doing like drywall.Ĭurrently our entire kitchen renovation budget is set for $10,000. I am picking elements for our kitchen that I know I can do myself like the floating vinyl floor, tiling the backsplash, and even building the cabinets. This way you can see if anything was over budget so you can continue to make adjustments as you progress through the remodel.ĭIYing parts of a renovation is a great way to save lots of money! I also include a place on the budget sheet for you to put the actual cost. Once I find what will work in my budget, I can finalize it all. Then if the total budget is more than I planned, I can pick which elements I am not willing to go cheaper and which elements I am. When setting a budget for any remodel, I like to start by doing a bit of research and then picking my favorite option in each category. Also, I am hoping that I can find a lower priced option for other elements to help make up for the added sink cost. I was seriously shocked when I started researching farmhouse sinks! They are quite pricey for my very budget conscious.īut since they are one of the elements I absolutely want (and are such a statement), I am making room in my budget for it. It is hard to set a budget without an understanding of what each thing costs. While I am making my final decisions, I have been researching each element.
