Definitely break it down - it's honestly not as daunting as it may appear, despite the below:
We had some time issues... : ) I did about a week on my own for the first batch of stuff. Then trades sporadically came in over about 5 weeks due to them being flaky and deciding on the morning, "nah I'll go to the pub instead" and bad scheduling. If I'm being fair we had a worktop delivery come at 11pm when it was supposed to come at 8am that morning instead and trade availability had to shuffle - but still 5 weeks was nuts.
In total it took about 7 weeks including some time after the trades had finished to do things like painting. Which was about 4/5 weeks longer than I'd anticipated.
Also on costs, just went back over emails:
1.5k for all appliances (ao.com)
2k for units/worktop (diy kitchens)
4k labour (company now out of business in sussex)
300 Tiles/paint etc. (b&q)
1.8k pantry removal/steel install etc. Also included new front and back doors to the house/locks etc.

This is brilliant, thank you man. I don't have a core drill but the guy upstairs does and he's OK to lend it out.
'll have a play with that designer, maybe I can break it down into coherent steps if I can see the end goal in mind.
How long did yours take if you don't mind me asking?
