A renovation can uncover hidden conditions once work begins. Good preparation helps you compare contractors on the same scope and manage decisions as the project develops.
Define the brief
List the areas affected, desired finishes, what must stay in use and any access constraints. For structural changes, establish what professional design, engineering, approvals or inspections are required.
Allow for unknowns
Ask how concealed defects and scope changes will be reported, priced and approved. Keep a documented contingency and agree who can authorise additional work.
Compare written proposals
Review inclusions, exclusions, materials, preparation, protection, waste removal, programme, payment stages and workmanship responsibilities. A low headline price can omit important work.
Discuss your Cape Town project
For a useful first conversation, include the property suburb, a short description of the work, whether drawings or a scope are available, and your likely start date.
