Step 1: Determine the purpose and design of the outdoor living space

This step involves deciding on the overall function and appearance of the space. Consider factors such as the size and layout of the area, the intended use (e.g., entertaining, relaxing, gardening), and the style of the home. You may want to sketch out a rough design or create a detailed plan with measurements and materials using a BIM software.

Step 2: Create a budget and gather materials

This step involves determining the cost of the project, including the price of materials, labor, and any additional features you want to include (e.g., a fireplace, a water feature). It could be smart to look at Rebuilding Magazine's yearly Expense vs. Esteem Report to understand how much normal projects cost.

You will need to gather estimates from contractors or suppliers and make a list of all the materials you will need. It is a good idea to add a cushion to your budget an additional 10 to 20 percent for unexpected expenses, says Zillow. If you need to finance all or even a portion of the project, check out our financing partners.

Step 3: Obtain any necessary permits

Depending on the location and scope of the project, you may need to obtain building permits or other approvals from your local government before starting construction. Ensure your General Contractor checks your district's most recent regulations, since inspections guidelines change in various areas.

Step 4: Prepare the site

This step involves preparing the area for construction, which may involve grading the ground to create a level surface, installing drainage to prevent water from pooling, and removing any existing structures or debris. You may also need to mark utility lines or have them marked by the appropriate authorities to avoid damaging them during construction.

Step 5: Install any necessary foundations

This step involves installing any necessary foundations, such as concrete piers or footings, to support the structure of the outdoor living space. The type of foundation you need will depend on the size and weight of the structure and the type of soil on your property.

Step 6: Build the structure

This step involves constructing the main structure of the outdoor living space, such as a deck, patio, or pergola. You will need to follow a set of plans or blueprints and use the appropriate tools and materials to assemble the structure.

Step 7: Add desired features or finishes

This step involves adding any additional features or finishes to the outdoor living space, such as lighting, plants, furniture, or decor. You can use this step to personalize the space and make it more comfortable and functional.

Step 8: Test and finalize the outdoor living space

Now is the ideal time to add those last details and finishes — final painting, floor sealing, lighting fixtures, some other final details.

This step involves checking the functionality of any features, making any necessary repairs or adjustments, and performing any necessary maintenance to ensure the outdoor living space is ready for use. This may include testing electrical outlets, adjusting the placement of furniture, or applying sealant to protect wood surfaces.

When a redesign is finished, make certain to pause for a minute to enjoy in your new environment, and maybe begin longing for your next project.
