Compare like-for-like scopes by separating base work, specialist items and upgrades before requesting a quote.

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 foyer refresh includes a new storage cabinet, mirror, lighting, and floor repair, but quotes describe different work.
Separate necessary floor and electrical work from optional mirror and cabinet upgrades. Compare cabinet internals, finish, installation, and making-good as matching line items.
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 doors and housekeeping alcoves from narrowing the continuous route; make room numbers visible before each turn.
- Detail
- Use durable wall protection at luggage height and low-glare lighting with clear door-side illumination.
- Trade-off
- Decorative corridor seating can make the route feel welcoming but impede carts.
- Navigate to a room with typical luggage
- Pass a housekeeping cart at the narrowest point
