Timelines for apartment renovations vary greatly. From start to finish, an apartment renovation may take 4 months; from start to finishing could take more than a year. Permitting from local municipalities, obtaining materials, and building can all add substantial time to the restoration timeline. When purchasing premium materials from abroad, shipping and importing the items might be time-consuming. Furthermore, uncovering hidden surprises during demolition (for example, water damage or electrical difficulties) may need a problem-solving team before starting construction as planned.
