01
What are you trying to change?
Describe the problem or outcome.
Project planner
Get clear on the project before contractors start defining it for you.
You do not need every answer. You do need a clearer picture of what matters most so different contractors can respond to a more consistent project.
02
What must be included?
Separate essentials from nice-to-haves.
03
What decisions have you made?
Record materials, layout, timing, budget range and priorities.
04
What do you still need answered?
List questions about cost, scope, timeline, repair versus replace, materials or contractor selection.
05
Generate your project brief
Use the same baseline when requesting estimates so conversations are easier to compare.
