Introduction

Ready to start your renovation journey on PLANA? Posting a project is simple, but a few key details will help you attract the best contractors and get competitive bids. Here’s a checklist to make sure you have everything you need.

1. Photos of the Space

Using our integrated photo upload functionality, you can upload recent photos of the area, helping contractors get a visual understanding of the project allowing them to submit more accurate bids.

2. Detailed Project Description

Provide a comprehensive description, including specific goals and any special requirements. Describe the look and functionality you’re aiming for, and be clear on whether the project is a remodel, repair, or entirely new installation.

3. Budget and Timeline

Set a rough budget to guide contractors on what you’re willing to spend. Similarly, if you have a deadline, include it so that contractors can assess feasibility.

4. Preferred Materials or Styles

If you have specific materials or styles in mind, like marble countertops or modern fixtures, mention them. Contractors can provide guidance and alternatives if needed.

5. Contractor Qualifications

Indicate any qualifications or certifications you prefer. PLANA’s contractors are vetted, but mentioning specific needs, like eco-friendly certifications or a certain level of experience, will help filter responses.

Conclusion

Creating a thorough project post on PLANA helps attract the right contractors and ensures your project is handled professionally from start to finish. By following this checklist, you can set clear expectations and start your renovation on the right foot.
