A bathroom is a solitary space in your home where you can get ready for the day and relax after work. Whether you are doing a remodeling or new construction project, adding an extra bathroom to your home can improve your living experience. It will also allow you to spruce up your home and boost your property value.

But before you add a bathroom to your home, here are four factors you need to consider.
1. Plan
Creating a well-thought-out remodeling plan helps you lay down your project specifications. A plan is a great basis for developing the budget and schedule. If you live with your family, discuss their needs and plan the bathroom addition with them. Listen to their suggestions, and see if you can incorporate them into the new bathroom.
2. Design
A good bathroom design makes the space better suited to its purpose. Hiring an experienced architect will ensure everything is done according to your preferences, the industry standards and local building codes. An architect will also guide you in deciding what design features work with your available space. But remember, you still have the last say on your project. Let your architect know if you need other options that better meet your needs.
3. Materials
Whether you’re looking for bathroom finishes or fixtures, make sure you pick the ones that match the design and are made with high-quality materials. You can also take your architect’s suggestion since the pros have already made sure it fits your needs and budget.
4. Schedule
Scheduling a bathroom remodeling project helps you outline the timeline and process of the job. It also defines the sequence and method in which the materials will be used. If you’re not staying in your home while the work is being done, you would need to schedule inspections so you can check the project’s progress.
