New wishes or unexpected conditions can arise during renovation. Record their effect on cost and time before proceeding.
Compare the complete intervention
Compare the glazing, rooflight and terrace reinstatement together in the budget. If a cheaper door system requires a different floor build-up, include that consequence in the same comparison.
Describe the change
State what differs from the agreed scope and why. Use a drawing or photograph where helpful.
Decide this before construction
Fix the kitchen layout and finished floor levels before ordering services and glazing. Plan the outdoor transition too, even when garden work will follow later.
How to review the result
At completion, walk from the cooking area to the terrace. Check the opening with the intended furniture in place and review the light with any shading closed.
