You don’t need detailed plans yet, but more clarity upfront leads to better guidance.\n\nContractors can’t give solid estimates without at least rough dimensions and constraints. Being prepared makes your meetings more productive and accurate.\n\nKey factors:\n- Any existing plans, surveys, or past permits if you have them\n- Rough measurements or a sketch of your current layout\n- Photos of the house, lot, and any problem areas\n- A prioritized list of needs, wants, and nice‑to‑haves\n\nSpend an evening measuring key rooms and sketching the general layout. Bring printed photos and a rough budget range; this lets the contractor quickly confirm what’s realistic and what might need to be scaled or phased."
