How GRG scopes and prices a renovation
GRG scopes from the property and the exit, not from a generic package. A buying decision can start with a rough budget. A job starts from a defined, line-item scope. Pricing is meant to be realistic enough to underwrite. It is not an advertised rate card, and nothing on this site is an offer.

Two documents, two jobs
A rough budget is for a decision you have not finished making. It should be fast enough to be useful and humble enough to admit what the walk could not see. A defined scope is the document a renovation is built from. It names rooms, finish level, whether a system is repair or replace, what is excluded, and which dollars are allowances. If a trade and an investor can read it and disagree about what “done” means, it is not finished.
Skipping from a rough budget straight to demo is how both sides argue later about what was included. The process page puts price before design and design before execute for that reason.
Allowances, alternates, and exclusions
An allowance holds a selection you have not made. It is not a place to hide a thin kitchen. Alternates are useful when you want to see a rental package and a resale package as two honest totals rather than one muddled average. Exclusions belong in the same document as inclusions: work you discussed and declined, and work that needs a specialist we are not providing.
If you want a scope written so that several firms can price the same work, say that at the start. A pre-purchase rough budget is for your decision. It is not automatically a public bid set.
Competitive, not theatrical
The price should reflect trade, material, and coordination cost in that market. A number that only works if every risk breaks your way is not competitive. It is incomplete. A number padded with a mystery line you cannot audit is not safer. It is just harder to compare. GRG would rather remove a room from the scope in the open than remove it quietly inside the walls.
Design does not get to outrun the price. Finish direction and allowances are set together. A selection above the allowance is a change you can see before the order, not a reconciliation after it.
Why there is no rate card
Publishing package prices would be an offer this company is not making, and it would be wrong for the next foundation, the next county, and the next exit. The scope estimator is a teaching tool with its factors printed on the page. Use it to see how condition and finish tier move a band. Then email the address if you want a person to be responsible for a number.
