Planning adds 12 weeks

A clean planning application takes 5 weeks for validation plus 8 weeks for decision. Add 4 more if Further Information is requested. Lodge as early as possible.

The finishes phase always overruns

Tiling, flooring, and paint look quick on paper but soak up weeks at the end. Build a 10–12% time buffer in any homeowner- managed renovation.

Plan around Irish weather

Groundworks and roofing slow significantly Nov–Mar. If you can, start excavation in March–May so the building is weather-tight before the first heavy autumn rain.
