When Av begins we reduce our simcha, this is accomplished in the following number of ways. One who has a court case against a non Jew should try to push it off until after Tisha Be'av. Likewise one who needs a surgery should should, if possible, push it off until after Tisha Be'av. One should also hold off on building and renovations (including painting) that are being done for convenience or to look nice. If he needs the space to live in, then the building may be done. It is also permissible to build a shul during this time since that is done for a mitzvah.
