Get ready for a project consultation

A little preparation helps make the first project conversation more useful.

List your questions

Write down your concerns about the current condition, project options, timing, and budget. Include questions about disruption and access to your home.

Include the decision-makers

If others share ownership or will help decide the scope, arrange a time when they can participate in the conversation.

Ask for next steps in writing

After the visit, ask what additional information is needed, when an estimate may be ready, and what work the proposed price includes.
