New wishes or unexpected conditions can arise during renovation. Record their effect on cost and time before proceeding.
Compare the complete intervention
Allow a separate item for making good around the junction. The new wall may be precisely priced while adjustments to existing pointing, mouldings and finishes remain missing.
Describe the change
State what differs from the agreed scope and why. Use a drawing or photograph where helpful.
Decide this before construction
Photograph retained details before dismantling. Check the dimensions of new components against the actual facade before production begins.
How to review the result
Review the result close up and from the garden. Check junctions and continuous lines; a neat individual joint says little about the coherence of the entire elevation.
