If the building is old, the first thing to look at is the roof. You should start the renovation if you feel the roof is at risk of falling apart. If the roof is fine, then you can move onto the next step. Next, look at the windows. If the windows are dirty or broken, you may need them to be replaced. After that, you can go through all the doors to make sure they are clear of any debris. Then, if everything seems okay, you can begin working on the floors. Make sure that the flooring is solid and sturdy so that no matter how hard you walk on it, nothing breaks. These steps will be completed before you can proceed to the walls.
