Primary cost controls
- Room or project size
- Finish and material tier
- Layout and structural changes
- Trade coordination and access
Kitchen scope depth distinguishes a surface refresh from a full layout change. A light scope keeps the existing cabinet boxes, appliance locations, plumbing points, and electrical layout. Standard scope allows coordinated cabinet, counter, flooring, lighting, and appliance work without major structural changes. Extensive scope can include moving utilities, opening walls, custom millwork, premium surfaces, and added trade coordination; contractor proposals should state those items separately.
