Let’s make the most of your home renovation journey together!
Plan Ahead & Communicate with your Contractor-
First things first, it’s all about planning ahead and staying in touch with your contractor. Before the construction kicks off, take the time to thoroughly review the project plans and timelines with your contractor. Get a good grasp of what’s about to happen, including the scope of work, estimated duration, and potential disruptions to your daily routines. This will mentally prepare you for what’s coming and allow you to make any necessary adjustments in advance. And here’s the key: maintain open and regular communication with your contractor throughout the construction process. Talk about your expectations, stay updated on the project’s progress, and share any concerns you may have.
Effective communication is the name of the game here. It ensures everyone is on the same page and helps promptly address any issues. Trust us, at Moonstone, we’ve got our project managers in daily communication with our clients because we know how important it is for you to be informed every step of the way.

Creating a cozy living space amidst the construction.
Brace yourself for the fact that the construction period won’t be as quick and simple as we all wish it would be. Consider setting up a designated living area within your home that remains free of construction. Think of it as your personal sanctuary away from all the noise and disruptions. You can create a temporary kitchenette or carve out a cozy corner where you can relax and unwind. Make it your own little haven! However, if the construction significantly impacts your living space, you might want to think about arranging temporary living arrangements elsewhere. Crash at your family’s or friends’ place, rent a temporary residence, or maybe even utilize a recreational vehicle on-site. A separate living arrangement can provide a more comfortable and uninterrupted environment during the construction phase. So, explore your options and find what works best for you!
Safety Comes First.
Safety should always be a top priority during construction. It’s crucial to always keep children and pets away from the construction zone. Consider creating a safe and designated play area for the little ones or temporarily relocating your furry friends to a friend or family member’s house until the construction is complete. This precautionary measure will ensure everyone’s safety and peace of mind.
Embrace The Process & Take Breaks
Alright, now here’s a little nugget of wisdom: embrace the process and take breaks when needed. Instead of viewing construction as a hassle, try to shift your perspective and see the exciting changes it will bring to your home. Trust us, maintaining a positive mindset can make the whole experience more enjoyable and stress-free. But hey, we understand that sometimes the noise and disruptions can get a bit overwhelming. Instead of viewing construction as a hassle, try to embrace the exciting changes it will bring to your home. Maintaining a positive mindset can make the whole experience more enjoyable and stress-free.
Document the process.
Finally, consider documenting the construction process. Who doesn’t love a good before and after? Capture the transformation by taking photos or keeping a construction journal. It serves as a record of the journey and allows you to look back and appreciate your progress!
So, there you have it! With these tips in mind, you’ll be better equipped to navigate the challenges of living in a home under construction.
