About this skill
What Problem It Solves
Renovation quotes, contracts, and construction milestones often hide information asymmetry. Vague terms such as “equivalent brand” or “final settlement based on actual quantity” can create hidden add-ons, while process descriptions may cut corners. This skill helps homeowners and lay supervisors turn unclear line items into structured risk notes, inspection checklists, and negotiation material.
How It Works
It focuses on three workflows:
- Quote and contract review: extracts project name, unit price, quantity, brand, and craft notes from provided text or image content, then marks items by material verification, craft standard, and add-on risk using 🔴 / 🟡 / 🟢.
- Construction milestone inspection: generates stage-specific checklists for demolition, plumbing/electrical, waterproofing, tiling, and carpentry, including pressure tests, cable spacing, flood test water level changes, and evidence requirements.
- Negotiation and clause drafting: maps common contractor phrases to risks and generates supplementary agreement language covering brands, schedule, add-on caps, and breach liability.
It relies on local reference files such as references/material_price_guide.md, references/craft_standards.md, and references/inspection_checklist.md. The skill explicitly avoids guessing from unclear images and asks users to verify local standards when market prices or regulations vary.
Boundaries
It is intended for residential renovation in Chinese domestic contexts, especially for quote review, milestone inspection, and negotiation support. It does not replace formal supervision, lab reports, or legal advice. Photo-based judgments depend on image quality, and local rules may vary, so key decisions should rely on contracts, drawings, and on-site evidence.
Use Cases
- Review a contractor quote for vague brands, open-ended billing, and inflated quantities, then form a negotiation checklist.
- Before closing hidden plumbing and electrical work, generate required checks such as pressure testing, cable spacing, and conduit joints, with evidence requirements.
- After a water retention test, verify water depth and level change records, and prepare a notice message for downstairs neighbors.
- Analyze tile photos for joint width, flatness, and hollow risk, then output pass, minor issue, or rework advice.
Best For
- DIY homeowners comparing contractor quotes before signing, who need to audit quote items and contract clauses.
- Owner-supervised half-package renovators responsible for hidden plumbing, electrical, and waterproofing, who need stage-based inspection checklists and evidence requirements.
- Homeowners dealing with contractors over add-ons, material substitutions, or schedule changes, who need addendum clauses and negotiation language.
- Family members helping remote renovation oversight, who need to turn site photos and contractor messages into risk judgments and next steps.
