Advice from PO · renovation without jargon

A house doesn't reveal everything before it's opened. The real difference comes down to what was checked beforehand, what was explained and how the decision is made when an unknown condition shows up.

01

Before opening anything, PO looks at what the house already lets him understand.

The visit is for seeing the space, listening to your goal and spotting the visible conditions that affect the project. It doesn't make the inside of the walls visible. It does, however, make it possible to name what needs to be checked and what can't be confirmed yet.

02NO SURPRISES

What costs a lot is in the walls. I price it before opening.

This doesn't mean PO can see the invisible. It means he talks to you about the risks he can anticipate, separates what is known from what isn't and prices, before opening, whatever can be priced.

03

Finding something doesn't mean deciding for you.

When something unknown shows up, the client must understand what was found, what it changes and what decisions are possible.

05FAQ

Can all surprises be avoided before starting?

No. A visit doesn't make the inside of the walls visible. It makes it possible to separate what is known, what needs to be checked and what can't be confirmed before opening.

Can a discovery change the schedule?

It can affect what comes next, depending on what is found.
