About this bathroom remodel
A bathroom packs plumbing, electrical, ventilation, waterproofing and tile into a small room, so trades queue behind each other. The order matters: rough-in and inspection, then the waterproofing layer behind the shower, then tile, then fixtures. This template keeps that order and leaves room for grout and sealant cure time.
It suits a full gut remodel of one bathroom. For a cosmetic refresh with no plumbing moves, delete the rough-in and inspection rows.
Who it's for: Homeowners planning with a contractor, and remodelers who want a clear schedule for clients.
How to use it
- Open the plan. Click Open in the editor. The remodel opens as a live Gantt chart.
- Order fixtures early. Keep the order row in the planning phase; a backordered vanity can stop the job at the end.
- Respect cure times. Use the waterproofing and grout rows to hold the manufacturer's cure times before the next trade.
- Share with the contractor. Send a read-only link so everyone works from the same dates.
Planning tips
- Check whether your jurisdiction needs a permit for plumbing or electrical changes.
- Have fixtures on site before demolition starts.
- Plan for a second bathroom or alternative while this one is out of service.
Frequently asked questions
- How long does a bathroom remodel take?
- This template totals a little over seven weeks including planning and permit time. The construction rows total 27 days, about four calendar weeks.
- Why is waterproofing its own task?
- Tile and grout aren't waterproof by themselves; a membrane behind the tile protects the walls. It needs its own time to install and cure.
- Can I download the schedule?
- Sharing is free. PDF and CSV downloads are on Solo ($12/month).
