Mexique: Des explications, exemples de budgets et listes de contrôle pour préparer vos travaux.
Waterproofing an azotea: what belongs in the quote
Measure the actual treatment area, investigate existing coatings and drainage, and price preparation, details, access and verification alongside the membrane.
A 4 m² bathroom: budget from removal to working fixtures
Measure wall and floor finishes separately, define concealed work and reconcile products, labour, IVA and the checks needed before closing the bathroom.
Two renovation cotizaciones: compare the same finished scope
Separate labour-only offers from full packages, confirm missing work and tax treatment, and assess the contractor before accepting the headline price.
A cocina integral: coordinate cabinetry, worktop, appliances and services
Approve dimensions and appliance requirements before fabrication, then compare the complete installed kitchen rather than cabinets alone.
Humedad and salitre: find the cause before ordering wall repairs
Prepare an observation record, separate diagnosis from restoration and keep an allowance for the cause until the actual repair is defined.
An extension in Mexico City: establish feasibility before pricing the build
Check property rights, permitted development, the existing structure and service interfaces, then separate investigation funding from a conditional construction provision.
Remodelación por etapas: phase the work without hiding the full cost
Define usable stages, protect later interfaces and account for repeated visits, temporary living arrangements and the money needed before the next stage starts.
Anticipos and extra work: control the forecast, not just transfers
Credit advances against the agreed price, distinguish cumulative work from a new payment and update the whole-project balance after approved changes.
Renovation entrega: inspect the result and reconcile the final account
Bring the agreed scope, variation records, concealed-work evidence and payment history to handover. Keep unfinished items visible until they are resolved.
