When Should You Start Interiors Before Possession?
Many homeowners begin thinking about interiors when they receive the keys. By then, there is often pressure to decide quickly. Planning backwards from your move-in date helps.
The stages to plan for
Most projects move through:
- Direction, requirements and budgeting
- Design: layouts, concepts, revisions, approvals
- Costing and finalisation of scope and specifications
- Production and procurement
- Site execution and finishing
- Snag fixing and handover
Start with requirements early
You can define your requirements, budget and design direction well before possession. Actual timelines vary by scope, project type, site readiness and execution model.
