Renovation Checklist: Scope Before Work Starts

Key areas to clarify when preparing an interior or exterior renovation project.

Renovation projects can involve several trades at once. Before work starts, document what is changing and what must remain.

Interior works

List spaces affected by demolition, carpentry, ceilings, flooring, tiling, painting, electrical, and plumbing works.

Exterior works

For exterior upgrades, review walls, waterproofing, roofing, drainage, gates, and other exposed elements as applicable to the project.

Existing-condition documentation

Photos and a simple room-by-room or area-by-area scope list can help establish the starting condition and identify items requiring attention.

Coordination

When multiple trades are involved, sequencing matters. The work should be coordinated so one activity does not unnecessarily delay another.
