A Realistic Fixtures Timeline for Your BTO Renovation

A Realistic Fixtures Timeline for Your BTO Renovation

Most renovation delays we see are not caused by contractors. They are caused by fixtures arriving after the trades that need to install them have already moved on.

Week 0 to 2: key collection and measurement

Book a site measurement as soon as you collect keys. Outlet positions, ceiling heights and electrical points determine which products are even eligible.

Week 2 to 4: confirm concealed items

Concealed shower valves, wall-hung cisterns and recessed power tracks must be confirmed before tiling and carpentry. These are the items with the longest lead times.

Week 5 to 8: surface fittings

Basin mixers, shower sets, sinks and taps are installed after tiling. Order them by week five so they are on site when the plumber returns.

Week 8 onwards: fans, lighting and smart home

Ceiling fans, downlights, digital locks and laundry systems come last, after painting. Coordinate a single installation date to avoid repeated site visits.

Our showroom team keeps a copy of your timeline and schedules delivery to match your contractor's programme.
