Renovation Anti-Add-On Guide

Problem: why renovation markups appear after signing

Quotes often omit items, plumbing is priced per meter, demolition adds surprise fees, and verbal promises never reach the contract. The real issue is risk moving from pricing to construction, where homeowners pay passively for “normal” additions.

How it works: conclusion first, tactic second, action third

The skill gives a short verdict first, such as go, no-go, or trap, then explains the tactic in under 200 Chinese characters, and ends with a concrete action like adding a contract clause or inspecting a milestone before payment. It routes questions to different references: quotes and contracts, construction markups, budget trade-offs, and failure cases.

• Quotes and contracts: spot omissions, sales language, and designer-recommended traps
• Plumbing and demolition: check pricing units, evidence, and justification for extra fees
• Budget trade-offs: decide which projects are not worth the cost
• Failure risks: exclude bad products and weak workmanship choices

Boundaries

This is practical consumer guidance, not legal advice, and it does not replace site supervision. For disputes involving money, schedule, structural safety, or contract terms, use local regulations, third-party testing, and professional counsel.
