Free download for Victoria and Vancouver Island homeowners. Most renovation problems start before the first hammer swings: vague scope, low allowances, unclear payment schedules and changes nobody wrote down. After 30+ years building and renovating homes, these are the 12 questions I’d want every client to ask me before signing.
What’s in the checklist
- Licensing, insurance and WorkSafe coverage: what proof to ask for
- Who will actually be on site every day
- Permits, scope, exclusions and realistic allowances
- How changes are priced and approved, and how payments and holdback should work
- Schedule, trades and subs, communication and warranty
