New wishes or unexpected conditions can arise during renovation. Record their effect on cost and time before proceeding.
Compare the complete intervention
Price investigation, sample work and repair extent separately. Agree how findings after exposing the substrate are recorded before expanding the repair area.
Describe the change
State what differs from the agreed scope and why. Use a drawing or photograph where helpful.
Decide this before construction
Start with a survey and trial repair, reviewing the result before treating the whole surface. Protect retained elements while removing adjoining material.
How to review the result
Compare completed repairs with the approved sample area. Review junctions and material behaviour; colour difference alone does not determine execution quality.
