New wishes or unexpected conditions can arise during renovation. Record their effect on cost and time before proceeding.
Compare the complete intervention
Separate retention, repair and new bespoke work in the quotation. This shows the preparation and protection effort alongside the visible end result.
Describe the change
State what differs from the agreed scope and why. Use a drawing or photograph where helpful.
Decide this before construction
Dismantle retained elements only with an agreed recording and storage plan. Take final bespoke measurements after assessing the adjoining substrate.
How to review the result
Review junctions against the detail sheet. Check that retained doors move freely and new layers do not obstruct hardware, hinges or ventilation provisions.
