Scope and pricing
A number you can underwrite is a scope you can read. GRG writes the work, the allowances, and the exclusions around your exit — then prices that, not a generic package.
You leave with
A defined scope and price, or a labeled rough budget when you are still deciding.
- You need a line-item scope before trades start.
- You want allowances and exclusions in the same document.
- You are comparing a seller's rehab sheet to the house itself.
Rough, then defined
The buying decision can run on a rough budget that names its uncertainty. The job cannot. Once you are moving forward, the document has to be specific enough that you and the trades agree on what done means: rooms, finish level, repair versus replace, exclusions, and allowances for selections still open.
“Update the kitchen” is not a line an investor can hold or a trade can price fairly. If you want the scope written so more than one firm can price it, say that at the start and we will write it for that use.
Price the work you mean to build
Competitive, here, means a number that reflects trade, material, and coordination cost in that market. It does not mean the lowest cell on a spreadsheet that collapses the first week of demo. We would rather delete a room from the scope in the open than delete it quietly in the field.
Change orders are written. They name the cost effect and the schedule effect before the extra work becomes the plan. The site does not publish a rate card. The estimator is a planning tool with its factors shown, and it is not an offer.
Design stays inside the number
Finish direction that arrives after the price is how budgets break. Allowances hold the open selections. Going above an allowance is a change you approve before the order. Going under should credit just as visibly. Scope and design are separate disciplines on the menu so you can buy one. They are not allowed to contradict each other.
