How Seven Stones keeps the scope honest

What should owners prepare before requesting a construction estimate? Prepare photos, measurements, access notes, drainage concerns, strata rules if applicable, and a list of related work such as paving, drywall, concrete, drainage, or trade coordination. Can one scope include several kinds of construction work? Yes. Seven Stones reviews mixed scopes so site prep, surfaces, walls, renovation work, and qualified trade-partner coordination are sequenced clearly. A site review can confirm what belongs in the construction scope and when a qualified specialist or trade partner is required.

When to request a site review

Request a site review when access, drainage, structural movement, material tie-ins, property rules, or the cause of visible damage cannot be confirmed from photos alone. Include wide and close-up photos, approximate dimensions, and the outcome you need.
