How to use this
Document hidden rot, waterproofing, and tile layout before pricing the bathroom change.
Separate fixture upgrades from required plumbing, ventilation, or electrical corrections.
Keep the approved bathroom change with photos, selections, pricing, and the job record.
Approval boundary
Templates help you write the request. StackQuotes helps you keep the approval record tied to the job.
A draft, conversation, estimate, diagnostic note, selection, or field photo is not the same as customer approval. Treat the change as approved only after the customer takes the approval action requested in the record.

Common mistakes
- Changing tile layout without documenting labor and material impact.
- Repairing hidden rot without photos and approval.
- Leaving ventilation or electrical issues out of the scope change.
- Treating fixture selection as approval for plumbing relocation.
