This is a real packet, from a real bathroom. One homeowner measured and
photographed their own room on a phone. Nothing here was written by us, and nothing has been
tidied up. You are seeing exactly what a contractor bidding this job sees: the town, not the
street, and no homeowner's name until one of them wins it.
The homeowner counted 1 window, 1 doorway, 1 sink.

Every line marked with a tape photo has a photograph of
the tape in place, in the photo index below. A line without one is the homeowner’s reading
and is worth confirming on the walkthrough.
How the homeowner expects to pay
In stages, through One Walkthrough. The homeowner pays for each stage as it starts. The money reaches the contractor when the homeowner approves the finished work, or five business days after the contractor says it is done if the homeowner neither approves it nor says what is wrong. Paying this way costs the contractor 1.5% of what goes through, never more than $1,500, and each bid shows how much of that the contractor has added to their price.
Nothing is settled here. The homeowner and the contractor can agree something
else on the walkthrough, and if it changes after the bids are in, the contractor can change
their price to match.

This packet was measured and photographed by the
homeowner, not by us. There is no line-item breakdown: the scope is the photographs, the
measurements and the conditions above. Bid the project as you would price it, carry the
allowances shown as materials, state your contingency separately, and list what you have
assumed. Every contractor is working from this same document, and the assumptions you write
are shown to the homeowner beside your number.
