Duration of basement remodeling projects

After creating a task breakdown, your next thing to consider is  how much resources (you, your family mambers, friends, experts) are necessary to deliver each tasks.

When the resources are known, estimate the duration of tasks in days.

Then try to plan the dependencies between tasks. That means which tasks are coming after each other and which tasks can not be started if any preliminary task is not closed.

These information gives you a plan with which it is possible to estimate the whole duration of the basement remodeling project.
