Complete the five prompts

Choose the appliance, main concern, history, recent changes and access conditions. The builder will organize what to document and which scope questions to take to each company.

Comparable answers begin with comparable questions

If every company receives a different description, their proposed scopes and prices are difficult to compare. This tool creates a neutral starting brief without choosing a contractor or claiming to identify the cause.

Bring photographs, prior reports and appliance information when they can be gathered safely. A qualified professional still needs to evaluate the actual system.
