Direct, plain answers. No marketing copy.

What order do renovation works happen in?
Strip-out → structural → first-fix services → plaster → second-fix → decoration → final commissioning. Compress the order at your peril. Sequencing is what separates a smooth renovation from a disaster.
How long does a renovation take?
Full-house renovations typically run 16 to 32 weeks on site depending on scale. Single-floor is more like 8 to 14 weeks; single-room cosmetic refurb 2 to 6 weeks. Design and planning add 4 to 12 weeks before work starts.
