Home & DIY Plan Check
A home project goes wrong when the plan skips a step, the quote hides an assumption or a safety check gets left out. These prompts review your project plan, safety checklist and contractor quotes or budgets before you spend money or pick up a tool. Describe the job, the materials and the quote, and the prompt returns missing items, questions to ask contractors, sequencing problems and cost lines that need explaining. They suit renovators, landlords and first-time owners. They cannot inspect your home, so confirm structural, electrical, gas and permit questions with licensed professionals and your local authority, and treat the output as a list of things to verify.
