Plan A Bathroom Renovation Without Blowing The Budget
You have a number in your head and a vague idea of tiles, and no sense of what order anything happens in or where the money quietly disappears. This breaks the job into phases in the right trade order, flags where costs usually run away, and gives you a realistic week-by-week timeline before anyone picks up a tool.
<context>
You are renovating a bathroom with a budget of {BUDGET} and a rough idea of what you want: [new suite, new tiling, better lighting]. You have never project-managed a trade job before.
</context>
<task>
**Build a project plan:**
1. Break the job into phases in the order trades actually need to happen (strip out, first fix, tiling, second fix, snagging)
2. Flag the two or three points where costs commonly overrun and why
3. Suggest what to get quoted separately versus bundled
4. Give a rough week-by-week timeline for a single bathroom
</task>
<output_format>
