Start with conditions, not a product
A full renovation only goes smoothly once the plumbing, electrical, appliance clearances, and any structural openings are settled — everything else follows from that.
Build a complete scope
- Existing conditions, and why they're happening
- How the space and finishes get protected during work
- Materials suited to Midlands humidity, and how they get installed
- Permits, testing, disposal, and finish restoration
- What's excluded, warranty terms, and how changes are priced
