Can the renovation be phased?
Potentially. The sequence needs to account for shared utilities, access, temporary protection, and work that would otherwise have to be repeated.

Whole-home renovation: common questions
How do we decide what to keep?
Start with condition, function, and the intended result. Items that look usable may still affect the layout, connections, or installation of new work.
How should I prioritize a whole-home renovation?
Separate essential repairs and functional changes from finish preferences. Mark the rooms that must stay usable and discuss whether a single construction phase or several phases fits the household.
