Scope before price
The estimate depends on what is removed, repaired, installed, supplied by the owner and handled by the contractor.

Inquiry checklist
What to send before asking for a price
Property location
Town, street or area, floor level, parking/access information and whether someone can open the property.
Photo set
Wide shots of rooms, details, damage, existing tiles/floors/walls, installations and any hidden-risk areas.
Goal and timing
Tell us if this is a rental preparation, family use, sale preparation or a seasonal upgrade, and when it must be ready.
Decision limits
State what is fixed, what is optional, and whether 1440MM should estimate only labour or labour plus selected logistics.

Remote-owner workflow
How renovation stays controlled when the owner is abroad
Photos before estimate
The first useful step is not a blind price. Send photos or video, location, access situation, timing and the goal of the work.
Written scope before agreement
The offer must define what is included, what is not included, who supplies materials, and which details can change the price.
Traceable communication
Important decisions should stay written: scope changes, material choices, access, progress notes and handover points.
Handover record
For remote owners, completion needs more than “it is finished”. Photos, notes and a clear handover reduce later disputes.

Small finishing work
For foreign owners, the first estimate is only useful when the property goal, access, photos, approximate measures and deadline are clear. A low number without scope is not a controlled offer.
Apartment or bathroom work
Furniture installation, bathroom accessories, mirrors and shelves can often be estimated from photos and a clear item list.

Before the work is agreed
What should be clear before price, timing and scope are confirmed
A useful renovation inquiry is not just “how much does it cost”. Before any serious estimate, the owner should define photos, measurements, location, access, desired timing, material responsibilities, rubble, protection of the property and handover expectations.
Rubble and logistics
Waste removal, material transport, carrying items in, furniture or final details are agreed as part of the scope; they are not assumed automatically.
Remote-owner workflowDocumented and handover
For owners who are not on site, photo documented work, written communication and a clear handover reduce the risk of “one thing agreed, another delivered”.
