DEFINE KITCHEN A AND KEEP / CHANGE
Use neutral labels. Record observable conditions separately from assumptions and questions that a qualified provider must assess.
Construction & Specialty Trades · FREE PREPARATION PACK
Full kitchen remodel scope, selection and handoff workbook
Full kitchen remodel proposals are easier to compare when every provider receives the same non-sensitive existing-condition, keep/change and decision brief. This helpful preparation resource from PickYourPro.ai coordinates demolition, retained items, layout or design inputs, cabinetry, surfaces, fixtures, trade interfaces, selections, access, protection, changes and completion handoff without designing the kitchen or prescribing construction methods.

How to use this resource
Use neutral Kitchen A and Property A labels. Keep addresses, access codes, occupant details, financial records, permit identifiers and product account information outside this workbook. Record only observable existing conditions, separate keep/change/unknown decisions, identify who supplies design inputs and selections, and ask providers to define investigations, trade boundaries, assumptions, changes, testing and closeout in writing.
Open the PDF in a form-capable viewer, save a copy, then fill it in. Reopen your saved copy to check your answers. You can also print the blank pages and write by hand. Your answers are not submitted to PickYourPro.ai.
MAP SELECTIONS, TRADES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
