        "text": "To get a reliable quote, you need a clear scope, basic dimensions, and at least rough choices for finishes and fixtures. The more specific you are, the fewer assumptions a contractor must price.\n\nVague requests like “a master suite” or “bigger family room” inevitably produce wide‑ranging estimates. Sharper inputs produce tighter, more comparable bids.\n\nKey factors:\n- Sketch or description of layout and approximate size\n- Desired room types and any special features (fireplace, built‑ins)\n- Finish level (economy, mid‑range, or high‑end) with a few examples\n- Any known constraints (must keep existing roofline, limited yard)\n\nMake a simple written brief with your goals, rough room sizes, inspiration photos, and a candid budget range. Share it with the contractor and be ready to answer clarifying questions. A good addition contractor will help refine the scope so the quote closely matches what you actually want to build."
