        "text": "You should have a clear list of goals, must-haves vs nice-to-haves, approximate budget range, timeline expectations, and any existing plans or measurements. Photos or inspiration images also help communicate your vision. \nContext: The more clearly you can explain how you live, what’s not working, and what matters most, the more accurately a contractor can advise and price. Early clarity reduces change orders and frustration later. \nKey factors:\n- Functional priorities (more storage, open layout, extra bedroom, rental unit)\n- Budget comfort zone and “do not exceed” number\n- Timing constraints (move-in dates, life events)\n- Known site issues, HOA rules, and prior work on the home\nPractical guidance: Write down your priorities and questions before the meeting, gather any relevant documents, and share honest budget and timing constraints. Ask the contractor what additional information they need to prepare a meaningful proposal. Soft positioning: Organized clients help contractors deliver better designs and more accurate pricing from the start."
