The importance of planning

The success of your kitchen in Steinhausen depends on precise measurements. Measure the length of the base cabinets along the walls, as this dimension drives the price more than the total floor area of the room.

Thorough planning helps you avoid unexpected surprises during installation. Also consider the functional aspect by evaluating your storage needs and countertop requirements before starting your kitchen renovation project.

A well-prepared plan serves as the foundation for a seamless and successful home improvement experience.

Optimizing plumbing costs

Plumbing work is often the most expensive part of a kitchen renovation. To achieve significant savings, we advise keeping the sink and water connections in their current location.

Moving these elements requires heavy intervention on the piping, which can quickly inflate your budget. By optimizing the layout around the existing infrastructure, you considerably reduce labor time and technical costs.

Use our RenoIndex tool to estimate these potential savings on your overall quote and plan your renovation budget efficiently.

Legal framework and approvals

Before starting your work in Steinhausen, ensure you have all the necessary authorizations.

If you are a tenant or a condominium owner, it is imperative to obtain written approval from the owner or the co-owners' association before ordering furniture or beginning work. Respecting condominium rules is essential to avoid costly disputes.

While no specific grants are currently listed for your municipality, always check the regulations in force in the Canton of Zug regarding energy standards for new kitchen appliances.

A full renovation typically takes between two and four weeks, depending on the scope of the project. This includes demolition, plumbing and electrical work, and installation. It is advisable to include a safety margin in your schedule in case of unforeseen technical issues during construction.

Can I change my kitchen layout?
