        "text": "Ask for clear documentation of the proposed scope, payment schedule, allowances, change-order process, approval responsibilities, insurance information, schedule assumptions, warranty terms, and who will supervise the work. Also ask how design changes are handled after construction documents are complete.\n\n**Context:** Expansion projects involve more coordination than cabinet replacement, so unclear responsibilities can create delays and unexpected costs. A design-build company may manage multiple stages, but the homeowner should still know what is included.\n\n**Key factors:**\n- Drawings and specifications included\n- Cabinet, appliance, and finish allowances\n- Permit and inspection responsibilities\n- Communication and site-supervision process\n\n**Practical guidance:** Request a written proposal tied to plans and selections. Confirm what happens when concealed conditions, owner changes, material substitutions, or inspection comments affect the scope.\n\nElite Remodeling & Design’s described process includes design development, permit coordination, construction, and final inspection planning.",
