01VILLA RENOVATION
Few families can move out for the length of a full villa renovation. Phasing — splitting the work into stages that let the household keep living in part of the house — makes it possible, if the stages are planned around the services and not just the rooms.

Discuss a phased renovationOr message us on WhatsAppDoing everything at once is fastest and cheapest overall: trades work through the whole house in one pass, protection goes down once and the dust is over in one period. It usually means renting elsewhere. Phasing keeps the family at home and spreads the spend, at the price of a longer programme and some repeated costs.
The common plan is upstairs first, then downstairs — but the kitchen, a working bathroom and air conditioning need to stay live throughout. If plumbing or electrical renewal is part of the job, it may need to happen early across the whole house so later phases can connect to it. A contractor who maps services before rooms avoids having to reopen finished areas.
Each phase needs a sealed boundary between the work zone and living areas, a separate access route for workers where possible, and a daily clean-down. Children and pets need a clear rule about which doors are off limits. Noisy work is concentrated into set hours agreed with the family.
