Planning repairs and remodeling for a Santa Fe property
A scope-first approach to comparing contractors without losing track of materials, permits and trade coordination.
Define the project
- List the problem to solve before choosing finishes.
- Separate must-have repairs from optional improvements.
- Photograph existing conditions and note access constraints.
Compare proposals
- Use the same written scope when requesting estimates.
- Ask who manages permits and specialty trades.
- Confirm schedule assumptions, allowances, change orders and cleanup.
