FROM IDEA TO A CLEAR SCOPE

LESS GUESSWORK.
MORE DIRECTION.

Every home is different. The right starting point is a conversation about yours.

01

Tell us what the renovation needs to solve

Start with the property ZIP code, the rooms involved, your investment range and preferred timing. Describe the problems you want to solve as well as the finishes you like. If the kitchen, bathrooms and floors are part of one larger plan, include them together. Our form saves the request for review; it does not create a quote, construction contract or confirmed appointment.

02

Review the fit and the next conversation

The team reviews your inquiry and contacts you to discuss the project and the appropriate next step. Coverage, availability and the proposed work need to be confirmed. Be ready to explain whether you own or occupy the property, who will make decisions and which household dates are important. Keep contact details accurate so the team can follow up on the request.

03

Assess the existing property

A property assessment helps establish measurements, existing conditions and questions that photos cannot answer. Share previous repairs or known problems, along with the spaces you hope to retain. Discuss which parts of the scope are already understood and which may need further investigation. The initial assessment should inform the work being proposed rather than simply attach a price to an inspiration photograph.

04

Set the scope and selection priorities

Separate essential work from optional improvements. Review the relationship between layout, cabinetry, fixtures, appliances and finishes before treating them as independent purchases. Keep a selection list with product details and open decisions. If an item is still an allowance, ask what it assumes and how the final choice will be reflected in the proposal.

05

Review responsibilities and required approvals

The scope discussion should identify who checks applicable city requirements, who handles any necessary submissions and what information is still needed. For a DFW property, start with the correct municipality and the actual proposed work. Also clarify owner-supplied products, material orders, access and storage. These responsibilities should be clear before construction is agreed.

06

Agree on the written proposal and schedule

Read the inclusions, exclusions, product assumptions and conditions together. Ask which decisions or deliveries must be complete before a start can be confirmed. If you will live in the house, discuss how rooms and essential facilities may become unavailable. Record the agreed scope and schedule assumptions so later changes can be evaluated against the same starting point.

07

Keep project decisions in writing

Once a project is underway, changes need a clear description and an agreed approach to their effects on scope, cost and timing. Ask who your project contact will be and how decisions should be communicated. The website account tracks consultation requests; the construction communication arrangements should be established separately with the team.

08

Review the work and the remaining details

Ask how the final walkthrough, outstanding items and product information will be handled. Review the agreed work and documented changes, and keep the relevant care and warranty information. The exact handover arrangements form part of the project discussion. Keeping the record organized makes it easier to understand what was completed and what still needs attention.

YOUR CONSULTATION CHECKLIST

A few details make the conversation better.

  • Property ZIP code and the rooms included.
  • Current photos and approximate dimensions.
  • What should stay, change or be investigated.
  • Previous repairs or conditions you know about.
  • Investment range and optional improvements.
  • Preferred timing and any important household dates.
  • Whether the home will remain occupied.
  • Who will make selections and approve decisions.

For larger renovations, keep one room-by-room list alongside your inspiration photos. Bring uncertainties to the discussion instead of making purchases to fill the gaps.
