Know what matters. Plan carpentry clearly.
Follow the five phases that make carpentry work easier to describe, verify, approve, and document. Field conditions and requirements are still confirmed by the professional.
Trade know-how
Understand the job before it starts.
Carpentry scope comes from the exact object, dimensions, material, joinery, finish, installation conditions, and any structural or utility boundary. Use these five phases to describe the work clearly. The professional still verifies field conditions, requirements, and the final scope.
How this work starts
Details first; a visit when needed
Name the result
- Describe repair, trim, built-in, cabinet, shelving, exterior woodwork, custom fabrication, or installation.
- Include the result and quantity.
Document what is visible
- Record dimensions, photos, existing material and finish, damage or moisture.
- Also record wall and floor condition, hardware, access, matching needs, and nearby utilities.
Use the honest review path
- Bounded trim and assembly work can be details-first.
- Custom fit, hidden rot, structural framing, exterior water damage, wall movement, or utility conflicts need site measurement and specialist review.
Approve the written scope
- Confirm drawings and dimensions, wood or sheet material, joinery, hardware, finish.
- Also confirm shop versus site work, installation, patching, protection, permit boundary, and exclusions.
Keep one project record
- Continue in Completa with approved drawings, measurements, material and finish selections.
- Also keep site findings, progress proof, installation checks, and changes.
From request to accepted work
Know what happens at each decision.
You provide what can be observed. Completa organizes it into a project request. Whether that request can be estimated remotely depends on the facts, and a professional reviews the real project before any agreement is accepted.
01 · Scope
Build the scope from observable facts.
Record the address, requested work, measurements, safe photos, condition, access, timing, and anything still unknown.
02 · Estimate or field review
Estimate what is defined; review what is not.
Supported work with enough reliable detail can receive a scope-based estimate. Unresolved site facts require field review first.
03 · Choose and review
Choose a pro; the pro reviews.
Where matching is available, review the connection and decide whether to continue. The pro reviews the actual request before agreement.
04 · Accepted work
Accept only the reviewed work.
The reviewed scope, price, and terms both sides approve become the project record—not the unreviewed request by itself.
What field review means
A field review resolves facts a screen cannot safely confirm.
A professional checks site conditions that answers, photos, or remote measurements cannot establish. This protects both sides from pricing undefined work; it does not guarantee acceptance or a particular price, and Completa does not fill unknown scope with an invented number.
No submitted estimate becomes accepted work until a professional reviews the project and both sides agree to the scope, price, and terms.
