Remodel Readiness Question
#30
Do you know what design documents — like floor plans, drawings, or written instructions — you should have before asking contractors for formal pricing?
Why It Matters
Contractors price what they can see. Clear drawings and written notes turn your ideas into measurable work.
The Downfall
If you don’t know what plans are needed, you’ll get vague quotes that balloon once details emerge.
Do It Right
Learn the basics — floor plans, elevations, and written specifications. These form the foundation of a fair, apples-to-apples bid. Ask your designer or architect to explain how detailed those should be for your scope.
