Plan it out first
Before you begin renovating, make sure you plan out everything first in order to keep your budget in check and so that you have a clear idea of how you would like your house renovated. Start out by laying out step-by-step as in where in your house you would like to renovate first and proceed on from there. After that, consult with different technicians or experts to see how much will all the renovation cost you.
Come up with an estimated budget (BE REALISTIC ABOUT YOUR BUDGET)
Oftentimes people tend to come up with too low of a renovation budget without considering what could possibly happen during the renovation process. Because of this, once something unexpectedly bad happens during the renovation process, more and more money gets piled up in addition to the default budget. To prevent this unintentional budget outbreak, it's advised that you come up with your estimated budget REALISTICALLY. Once you have your estimated budget finalized, consider afterwards what needs to be added or removed and delay any kind of renovation that is too expensive for you until later.
Choosing your furniture and other renovation materials
Choosing your desired furniture and/or any other relevant materials is a good way to moderate your budget because YOU get to choose each furniture and material you would want depending on your preference. You have the option of physically shopping for your desired furniture or other materials at various home marts throughout Thailand or saving time by shopping online through apps or websites. Whichever option you end up choosing, please make sure to carefully consider prices as to which one you can and can't afford (you can also consider more affordable alternatives should you run into an excessively expensive furniture) to properly moderate your budget.
Always have a backup plan
Sometimes during the renovation process something could potentially go unexpectedly wrong like outdated materials or a foundation crack, which will subsequently add to your budget. 10-25% should be enough of an addition to your budget as a backup or fail-safe, should something ever go wrong during the renovation process.
Consult Experts
Those who are inexperienced or do not have sufficient knowledge may end up adding to their budget unnecessarily should they mess something up in the renovation process. To prevent any unnecessary or unintentional budget outbreak, it is advised to consult actual experts and technicians and let them cover the renovation for you. Even though you will have to pay them for the renovation process anyway, it'll be more worth it in a long run as opposed to haphazardly doing it yourself and waste more money than you should.
Instead of buying brand new, fix it instead!
Fixing as opposed to buying brand new will help moderate your budget and even lower the costs due to the self-explanatory additional cost of buying brand new furniture. Another word of advice is its best to plan out what you want renovated and finish all that up within one round to not have to renovate constantly and waste more money in a long run.
Conclusion
