Optimizing your kitchen costs

To manage your budget in Illnau-Effretikon, start by accurately measuring the length of the base cabinets along the walls. Contrary to popular belief, this linear measurement, rather than total surface area, significantly influences material costs.

Furthermore, keeping the sink and water connections in their current locations avoids costly plumbing work. Smart planning is key to reducing unexpected expenses.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a permit to renovate my kitchen?

If you are not altering load-bearing structures, a permit is generally not required. However, if you live in a condominium, the co-ownership rules may require approval from the general meeting of owners before any structural changes or major modifications to installations are made.

What factor has the biggest impact on price?

The length of the base cabinets and the choice of materials (cabinets, countertops, appliances) are the deciding elements. Keeping water drainage and connections in their original places also significantly reduces plumbing labor costs.

Can I do the work myself?

Yes, for dismantling or installing simple cabinets. However, electrical and plumbing connections must be performed by qualified professionals to ensure safety and comply with current standards in the canton of Zurich.
