Define your project properly.
Get quotes that actually compare.
The Scope Builder guides you through a structured set of questions that turn your idea into a project brief contractors can price accurately — not just guess at.
Most homeowners send contractors a description, not a scope. Without a proper scope, contractors have to guess at quantities, finishes, and what's included. The result: quotes that can't be fairly compared and surprises once work starts.
Six sections. Ten minutes.
The Scope Builder walks you through six areas. Skip sections you don't know yet — the Readiness Score will tell you what's missing.
Project goals
What do you want to achieve? Which rooms or areas are involved? What's staying and what's changing?
Site information
Address, access constraints, neighbouring properties, ground conditions, existing structure type.
Design status
Do you have drawings? Planning status? Structural engineer involvement? What's confirmed vs. still flexible?
Specification level
Finish quality (budget / mid / high). Which materials are you providing yourself? What do you need contractors to include?
Programme & budget
When do you need to start? Is there a hard deadline? What's your budget range?
Contractor expectations
What are you looking for in a contractor? Any mandatory qualifications or accreditations?
