THE SCOPE STUDIO

Make the idea
more specific.

Choose a space and a direction. Build a starting brief you can question, refine and compare.

Planning prompts only. No quotation, cost estimate, inspection or building advice is provided.

02 / What kind of change?
PORCHINDEX / WORKING PAPER01

A kitchen refresh.

Start with the finishes you want to keep, replace or investigate.

  • Which surfaces and fittings stay?
  • What preparation and protection are included?
  • Which samples and maintenance details will you compare?

LOOK PAST THE FINISH

The details
you don't see
matter, too.

Preparation. Access. Waterproofing where relevant. Waste removal. Handover. Ask who is responsible, what evidence is supplied and what the quote excludes.

What should change?

Describe the outcome, the part of the property involved, and how you will know the job is complete.

Private to this open page; not submitted or saved.

Useful question: what is included, and what is outside this job?

COMPARE THE SAME JOB

The lowest line isn't
the whole quote.

Use the same specification for every supplier. These are planning checks, not contractor verification.
