Plan your project · Renovation

Turn your renovation idea into a clear project brief.

A useful renovation request separates the result you want from the work needed to get there. Describe the rooms, priorities and limits before comparing estimates. Detailed scopes make it easier to understand what is included and where decisions remain open.

Know the scope

Which kind of help do you need?

Start with the situation that best describes your property. Use these questions to make the scope clearer before you commit to work.

01

Kitchen updates

State whether you want new finishes within the existing layout or changes to cabinets, appliances and the room arrangement. Note which items you plan to keep and who will select or supply materials.

02

Bathroom remodeling

Describe fixture replacements, accessibility goals or layout changes. Ask the proposed scope to distinguish finishes from plumbing, waterproofing and any associated electrical work.

03

Several rooms or a whole-home project

Identify the rooms and the sequence you prefer. Explain whether you will live in the home during work. Ask how temporary loss of essential spaces and coordination between trades will be handled.

04

Layout changes and additions

Describe the intended use of the space rather than assuming a wall or opening can be changed. Ask what assessment, drawings and approvals are needed before a final scope or schedule can be agreed.

Make a considered choice

Useful questions before you agree.

A written proposal should explain what is included, what still needs a decision, and who is responsible for the next step.

01

Define allowances and exclusions

Ask which products and quantities the price includes. Clarify allowances, owner-supplied items and the cost approval process when selections change.

02

Plan the sequence

Request a schedule showing major stages, decisions needed from you and dependencies on approvals or materials. Ask who coordinates trades and communicates changes.

03

Put changes in writing

Agree on how scope changes, additional cost and timing effects will be approved. Keep payment stages, completion criteria and warranty terms with the project documents.

Before submitting

Questions about your request.

Can I request help before the design is finished?
Yes. Describe your goals and what remains undecided. Make clear whether you need help defining the project or already have drawings and specifications to price.
Does interest in financing trigger a lender referral?
No. The existing renovation form can record your answer, but this review workflow does not route you to a lender or create a financing application.
What happens after I submit?
Your request is held for HandVetted team review. Phone verification and partner matching are not active. The form is not an appointment booking, a quote or a confirmation that a business is available.
