Turn the ‘new norm’ into a renovation opportunity

SINCE May 5 construction workers are back at work and busy on projects across the county. Most of us are at home a lot due to Covid-19 and we’re noticing jobs that we meant to do years ago but never got around to! In some instances budgets didn’t allow but for the majority of us we were too busy caught up in life to get them done.

With the economy slowly coming back to life and construction workers eager to get stuck into projects, now is the time to pick up that phone and contact a builder, who, for not too much money, can make a dramatic improvement to a room(s) in your house.

Building a dream home is something that requires a lot of time and planning, and if you are just about ready to get started you are in luck because there is no shortage of expert builders and tradesmen in Kerry.

We all live incredibly busy lives but we are time poor - even if the bank balance is in a healthy state. At the same time we have a list of jobs to be done. Often we can do them, but for the bigger, trickier jobs you need to hire a professional - someone skilled and with experience at solving these problems.

When it comes to building a new home, or renovating an existing one, the overall cost, obviously, is something that has to be factored into the equation for most people in terms of the scale of work they wish to get completed.

However, nowadays there are grants available for specific aspects of new build and renovation work being carried out on domestic homes.

With that in mind, it’s important that people do their homework and carry out a little bit of research prior to work commencing; this could end up saving you a lot of money in the long term.

It’s always worth noting that money saved on building costs through access to grant support can be channelled into other aspects of the build later on. There’s never been a better time to revamp your surrounds. The ideas and ways in which you can enhance your home and property are endless. With some personal vision and planning, your dream renovations can go a long way.
