Planning note

Begin with the condition of the house, not the product list.

Write down what is currently uncomfortable, costly or difficult to use. Then identify the constraints that will shape the work: access, existing services, planning, moisture, daylight and timing.

Questions to carry into a quote

Make every recommendation explain its trade-off.

  • What changes in ordinary use after the work is done?
  • What maintenance, access or future alteration will this choice require?
  • What existing condition needs checking before a final price is reliable?

Next step

Keep decisions in a sequence that protects the later ones.
