Plan the rooms and their connections together
List each room as staying, being refreshed or being reconfigured. Consider how openings, flooring, storage and lighting connect the spaces. Separate necessary repairs from elective upgrades so the budget shows what must be addressed and where you still have choices.
Include systems work before choosing final finishes
Changes to walls, kitchens and bathrooms may affect wiring, plumbing, ventilation or heating and cooling. Have the team identify the work behind ceilings, floors and walls alongside the visible changes. Coordinate cabinets, fixtures, appliances and equipment with those requirements before placing orders.
What to compare in a written proposal
- Room-by-room construction and retained items
- Shared layout, structural and building-system changes
- Cabinets, fixtures, flooring and finish allowances
- Work phases, household arrangements and final walkthrough
