Sources in the industry testify that in recent months there has been a significant increase in the beginnings of renovations, although in a slightly different way than usual - this is how it is when the mix of employees has changed completely, the lack of workers is still felt in small and large projects and in addition, renovation costs are skyrocketing. So just before making the significant decision, we have equipped you with important highlights in the process that will help you succeed with a minimum of obstacles and challenges.
According to the interior designer Meital Zimber, in particular compared to previous years, this summer there are peaks and lots of fluctuations because many of the property owners still do not know for sure how to proceed in the shadow of a period devoid of certainty: "Those who are currently in the midst of renovation are the ones who started the process even before the war but definitely We see that after several calm months there is a revival in the market. The big advantage at this time lies in the fact that in the last nine months the contractors have created new work teams that are mostly made up of professional workers - most of them Chinese and Israeli - who manage to reach higher levels of completion than we are used to A person is more expensive, a detail that leads to a dramatic increase in the renovation costs and in the order of 25% more than in previous years. On the other hand, we see that those ordering the work are not deterred by this figure and are willing to pay more knowing that the quality of the work is high and so is the level of reliability and personal security."
"It is important to understand that renovations by their nature take time and the most complex of them include a preliminary process of planning and issuing technical specifications and bills of quantities, so those who plan to carry out an extensive renovation should take into account that this is not something that can happen overnight. At the same time, it is certainly possible to enter into specific renovations already this summer, such as replacing a kitchen or bathrooms; to paint the house and upgrade the storage solutions, or to install parquet in the public space and in the rooms, you can find small or medium-sized contractors quite quickly, but in contrast, contractors who specialize in breaking down walls, replacing infrastructure, and digging. ) should be reserved about 3 to 4 months in advance. In any case, these are projects where a lot of preliminary work is required - from the measurement of the property, through the construction of an accurate program and comprehensive planning that precisely meets the needs of each member of the house, to the selection of materials, work with the personnel The aluminum, air conditioning, plumbing and lighting consultants and hermetically closing the work plans in order to issue a detailed bill of quantities for a contractor tender," adds Zimber.
