Do you provide a list/doc of design choices to your contractor for a rehab project?

[Kevin Cullen]

Hi there! My first full rehab project is underway on a unit in a duplex and I'd love to hear from the BP community about how y'all typically handle communication of your design choices to you contractor.

I am currently putting together a document that contains paint colors, faucet brands/models/links, hardware and finishes, etc. I'm just wondering if anyone has found success with a specific checklist of items they provide to their contractors either and whether they are treated as concrete rules or at simply guidance on style and such during the rehab process. In theory, I'm imagining this doc can be used again and again for each rehab to streamline the process in the future and keep my contractors and myself on the same page.

Would love to know what you've found successful. I appreciate your thoughts!
