Bathroom checklist
Work through the project before demolition starts.
Plan the layout
Measure the existing room and mark door swings, plumbing locations, window placement, and clearances.

Budget the work

- Slip-conscious flooring

Build in linen, medicine, towel, and product storage before the finish plan is locked.
- Recessed niches
- Vanity drawers
