Project planning
Build the bathroom scope around water management
Decide whether fixtures stay in the same locations
Keeping the toilet, shower and vanity in place can be very different from moving drains, supply lines or walls. Give contractors the room dimensions and identify which fixtures are being relocated. If the renovation changes a tub to a shower, note the drain location, desired curb or threshold and whether accessibility is a goal.
Waterproofing and ventilation deserve their own scope
Tile is a finish, not the waterproofing system. Ask what substrate and waterproofing method will be used in wet areas and how penetrations, niches and transitions are handled. Ventilation, fan ducting and existing moisture damage should be resolved before new drywall, paint or tile conceals the area.
Compare allowances for fixtures and finishes
Bathroom totals can vary widely because of tile, glass, plumbing fixtures, vanities and hardware. Confirm whether the quote includes demolition, disposal, waterproofing, electrical, plumbing, fan work, glass, paint and permits where needed. If fixtures are owner-supplied, provide model numbers before rough-in so dimensions and connection requirements are known.
Measure the room before choosing fixtures
Record the room dimensions, ceiling height, door swing and rough locations of the toilet, vanity, tub or shower. Then check the actual dimensions of proposed fixtures rather than relying on category names such as “60-inch vanity” or “standard tub.” Clearances, glass doors and drawer swings can conflict in a small bathroom. Resolving those details before demolition reduces last-minute changes to plumbing, framing or electrical locations.

Build the bathroom scope around wet-area work, not finishes alone
A bathroom renovation becomes much easier to quote when the homeowner separates cosmetic selections from plumbing, waterproofing, ventilation and electrical changes. State whether the toilet, vanity, tub and shower remain in place, whether walls or floors are being opened, and whether there is known leakage, soft flooring or mould-damaged material that may require investigation.
For quote comparison, ask contractors to identify demolition, substrate repair, waterproofing, plumbing, electrical, tile setting, glass, painting and fixture installation separately. Allowances for tile, fixtures and cabinetry should be written as dollar allowances or clearly owner-supplied items so that a low allowance does not make one proposal look artificially cheaper.
- Mark every fixture that moves versus stays in the same location.
- Identify shower dimensions, glass type and whether a niche or bench is planned.
- Ask who owns waterproofing, flood testing where applicable, and substrate preparation.
- For condos, include strata approval, elevator booking and permitted work-hour constraints in the project brief.
