Primary cost controls
- Room or project size
- Finish and material tier
- Layout and structural changes
- Trade coordination and access
Bathroom scope depth changes the wet-area work. A light scope keeps the existing fixture locations and focuses on finishes and fittings. Standard scope can replace the shower or tub assembly, vanity, floor, lighting, and ventilation while retaining the room footprint. Extensive scope may move drains or supply lines, rebuild waterproof assemblies, change walls, or add accessibility work; a proposal should identify waterproofing, substrate repair, and inspection scope.
