Supporting detail
Before scoping a new renovation, reviewing records from the property's most recent prior project, including finishes used, systems installed, and lessons noted at closeout, can surface useful context.
Prior project records can reveal existing conditions, material choices, or sequencing decisions that affect how the next renovation should be planned.
Owners who maintain organized records across successive projects give each new project team a stronger starting point than beginning from a blank assessment every time.
This practice complements, but does not replace, a current on-site assessment before finalizing a new scope.
