Residential Bathroom Remodeling Project
Project Manager: Justin Frank
This project is specifically tailored to replace all existing features and items that currently occupy
our home bathroom. Since our home is only equipped with a single bathroom unit, the timing of the project is critical. I have estimated three days for completion in which consultation with my workforce has confirmed the timeline. The budget allotted for has been capped at $2,500 and is mostly possible due to a discounted labor rate I have been fortunate enough to utilize. The budget is a mixture of both materials and labor collectively. I have split up the project into three sections of tasks in order to efficiently speed up the process and allow for smoother transitions into each phase. The end result will provide both esthetic satisfaction and overall functionality of the existing unit.
The materials being used will be purchased by me from a local home improvement retail chain. They include: pedestal sink, vanity mirror, vanity light fixture, ventilation fan, tiles, wall fixtures for storage, faucet accessories, towel racks, toilet paper holder, paint, and vent guard. All other mixing materials and piping will be purchased by the contractors, which include the plumber and mason. I will take on the role of painter in order to cut costs on my end and also for non monetary satisfaction. Cleanup and disposition of replacement materials will be taken to local facilities in our complex that will not incur a charge.
Structuring the project into three areas will be the optimal approach. All measurements and initial planning will be done previous to the start of the project. The first area, which will be day one, will include demolition and excavation of previous fixtures, tearing down shower/tub wall and tiling, replacing water piping for shower and tub, sealing up drywall and backerboard., disposing of old tub basin, and laying of shower tile. Day two will construct of finishing work on shower area, then removing the toilet, tear out old flooring, lay in new flooring, replace toilet, put in new pedestal sink, and painting. The third phase will include any residual touch up from previous day, adding in additional fixtures, and touch-ups.
The three days proves adequate only because the size of the bathroom is around 7 and ½ feet by 5 feet. Plus proportioning the time when we remove the toilet allows for us to keep it in use for as long as possible, assuming its placement does not interfere with the project. As far as any contingencies that could arise, we are fortunate to live close to my parents and utilize their facilities if needed. Having only a single bathroom unit does place limitations on a project like this. The contractors I have chosen are reputable from close friends and family, so I am confident in the outcome of the project and the lasting quality it will endure.
