While it is true that renovating your entire home all at once will cost more initially, you should also consider the savings in doing so as opposed to renovating rooms separately over time. When a contractor creates a plan for your renovation project, they look at a number of different items to help stick to your budget. Specifically, there are certain costs to be accounted for. However, these costs can actually be lower if you are renovating multiple rooms at the same time.

Consider, for example, that renovating two bathrooms at once will yield some savings in terms of sub-trade costs due to the fact that less trips are required to and from the job site. If a plumbing company must complete a rough in and finishing for two bathrooms that are being renovated simultaneously, then that would likely consist of two separate trips to the site. However, if these bathrooms were renovated separately, the invoice from the plumber would reflect the fact that more trips (likely four) were needed to finish the necessary work. Because trades are highly specialized, plumbers and electricians typically bill for a full day rate, even if they are only on site for a few hours.
