Good day everyone

Right now after paying the downpayment, likely will dont have so much money to do all in one shot renovation. so think to do it part by part. but some how the renovation some is related to each other like power point plug reservation. so wish to do proper planning to avoid redundant cost

Some noob questions: (also pls advice which part need started first)
