Compare the options
- Set the brief
- List the functions the finished space must support, then assign items to base scope or upgrades.
- Compare
- Get quantities and materials described consistently across quotes. Ask who covers making good and waste removal.
- Before buying
- Set aside a contingency for survey-dependent work and price likely substitutions before choosing finishes.
Worked example
A bedroom estimate includes bespoke wardrobes and a premium upholstered bed, obscuring the essential spend.
Separate storage internals, door finish and bed choice; price a simpler wardrobe configuration with the same daily capacity.
How to test it
Read the exclusions back with each supplier and ask what must be purchased or arranged separately.
Apply it to this space
- Layout
- Keep a direct route from door to bed and place luggage storage near entry, clear of wardrobe doors.
- Detail
- Provide layered bedside and general light, reachable switches on both sides, and easy-clean surfaces near the entry.
- Trade-off
- More built-in storage reduces open floor area for luggage.
- Try the room with a suitcase open
- Reach each control from bed and entry
