In a construction or renovation project, planning plays a crucial role and provides a head start for the actual execution of the work. It's advisable to start planning well in advance, even about 3 months before the start in a renovation, to avoid having to make important decisions on the fly. For larger alteration projects or new constructions requiring a building permit, it’s recommended to allocate at least 6 months for the planning and permit phase. Especially in old houses, surprises and situations requiring quick decisions almost always occur, but solving them is easier with a good plan as a foundation!

Several factors must be considered in planning, such as schedule, budget, and of course, the goals of the changes. Whether it's a home or a commercial space, the starting point for all modifications is the wishes and needs of the users of the space. Additionally, functionality, challenges that the changes aim to address, and of course, aesthetics are taken into account. It's important to have a target budget in mind from the beginning of the planning process. It's somewhat futile to plan a hundred thousand euro renovation if the budget is 40 thousand. Environmental impacts of the project can also be influenced at the planning stage, so desires for less environmentally burdensome materials should be known early on. 

A well-considered whole only emerges through seamless cooperation between the various actors in the project and requires effective project management to succeed. The broader the scope, the bigger the role of project management, and this should also be accounted for in the budget. Challenges usually arise regarding the schedule and budget when project management fails, and decisions and changes start being made on the fly.
