Planning framework
How this guide connects to the Smart Renovation AI tool
The guide pages support the tool by explaining the main parts behind a home improvement report: customer intent, project scope, city and country context, materials, timeline, supplier category, savings, and quote preparation.
Intent
The request decides whether the report is a repair, service visit, room remodel, exterior job, or construction plan.
Scope
The selected work controls which cost lines, materials, timeline phases, and supplier searches should appear.
Local context
Country, city, currency, unit system, and supplier availability help shape practical planning assumptions.
Use the tool for your exact project.
Describe the work, select a project area, add photos if available, and choose the options that match your situation. Smart Renovation AI will prepare a focused report instead of a generic renovation checklist.
