Separating renovation work from existing faults
Describe known faults before construction and document concerns found during opening work. The estimate should distinguish the renovation installation from investigation and correction of existing conditions.
Keep a list of known conditions separate from new design requests. Opening work can reveal further issues that were not visible during initial renovation planning.
How are unexpected conditions handled?
Opening walls can expose wiring not visible during the initial discussion. Its condition may require evaluation separately from the planned device layout.
Keep those findings identifiable rather than absorb them into an undefined remodel allowance. The agreed proposal should distinguish installation changes from diagnostic or corrective work, with additional findings explained before they are treated as part of the original scope.
Details to include with this request
- Known faults
- Renovation plan
- Conditions revealed during demolition
