Bowlexis · Pre-Construction Protection Report01
Executive summary
What was reviewed, and why it matters.
Bowlexis was engaged to provide independent pre-construction review of a planned kitchen and main-floor renovation, ahead of contractor selection. The report defines the scope of work, establishes a staged payment framework, and sets out a change-order control process — giving the owner a documented basis before any commitment.
Key findings- Scope gaps identified in three areas — electrical capacity, flooring transitions, and waterproofing — not addressed in early planning.
- A measured basis was established so future contractor proposals can be obtained and compared on equal terms.
- A progress-linked payment structure was recommended in place of the front-loaded deposit discussed initially.
