Project Scheduling

The success of any renovation depends on timing. Poor coordination leads to delays, budget blowouts, and endless frustration. That’s why at Nouvelle, we handle full project scheduling, so every trade turns up at the right time—and your renovation runs like clockwork.

Why Project Scheduling Matters

Renovating isn’t just about choosing colours and tiles—it’s about making sure your trades are booked in the right order, that materials arrive on time, and no one is left waiting for someone else to finish. With so many moving parts, project scheduling is where things often fall apart.

Nouvelle takes the guesswork and stress out of it. We coordinate all trades, suppliers, and deliveries so your renovation keeps moving and finishes on time.

What Happens When? Kitchen Renovation Scheduling

Here’s a typical sequence for a kitchen renovation. Every job may vary slightly, but this is the order we use to avoid delays and unnecessary rework:
  1. Removal of existing cabinets
  2. Floor protection laid
  3. Structural changes (if applicable)
  4. Plumbing and electrical rough-in
  5. Wall prep for cabinetry and splashback
  6. Cabinetry installation
  7. Rangehood ducting (if required)
  8. Benchtop check measure
  9. Cornice installation (if applicable)
  10. Benchtop installation
  11. Plumbing and electrical fit-off
  12. Splashback check measure (if glass)
  13. Glass splashback installation
  14. Final electrical check (for glass splashbacks)
  15. Flooring (depending on style, may be done earlier)
  16. Kickboard installation
  17. Painting (optional, at end of works)

What Happens When? Bathroom Renovation Scheduling

Bathroom renovations involve even more trades—and more waterproofing. Timing each step is critical. Here’s the general order:
  1. Strip out of the old bathroom
  2. Floor protection laid
  3. Builder inspects and repairs structural or water damage
  4. Structural modifications (if needed)
  5. Plumbing rough-in
  6. Electrical rough-in
  7. Ceiling and/or subfloor installation
  8. Wall prep—Villaboard or render
  9. Cornice installation (if required)
  10. Waterproofing application and curing (may take up to 5 days)
  11. Tiling (wall and/or floor)
  12. Built-in bath installation
  13. Shower screen check measure
  14. Vanity and cabinetry installation
  15. Plumber and electrician fit-off
  16. Shower screen, mirror, and accessories installed
  17. Painting (if required)

How Long Does It All Take?

Timelines vary depending on the scope, complexity, and style of your renovation. A small cosmetic update might take a few weeks. A full kitchen or bathroom transformation could take several. The important thing is not just how long it takes—but how well it’s managed.

Project managing a renovation of this size is a full-time job. If you’re already juggling work, family, or other commitments, handing it over to professionals like Nouvelle means fewer delays, less stress, and better results.

FAQs

Planning focuses on design and selections, while project scheduling is about logistics—when each trade is booked, how materials are delivered, and which tasks must be completed first. If that sounds overwhelming, check out our DIY Project Scheduling blog to learn why it's the most overlooked aspect of successful renovations.

Because the order matters. You can’t install a benchtop before cabinets, or tile walls before waterproofing. A missed step can delay your entire project. Explore our Modern Kitchen Inspiration Gallery or Traditional Bathroom Gallery to see how smooth scheduling leads to flawless finishes.
DIY scheduling may seem doable—until a tiler doesn’t show, or a supplier delay sets everyone back. Our Project Management and Scheduling Guide breaks down what’s really involved. Or better yet, book a showroom visit and speak with our team.
Typically, demolition and structural works come first, followed by plumbing and electrical rough-ins. But it depends on your specific scope. Contact us to understand how we sequence every trade for kitchens and bathrooms.
Massively. If your benchtop isn’t ready on time, cabinetry sits idle. If tiles are delayed, you can’t install vanities. We work with trusted suppliers to avoid these bottlenecks. Visit our Projects page to see how proper scheduling made the difference.
Not with Nouvelle. Our site supervisors coordinate buffer time, backup plans, and real-time updates across trades to keep projects moving. Read how we make it work on time, every time in the blog: An Efficient Project Management Strategy.
