Remodel requests a contractor can size before the visit
A "tell us about your project" box gets a callback and a slow game of phone tag. This intake asks the project, the scope, a budget range, and for photos of the space — so a contractor or designer can size the job before they ever knock.
The questions this niche actually needs
A blank “how can we help?” box gets you a callback and three more questions. Here's what the home remodel & design intake asks up front, so the request arrives ready to act on.
- What kind of project — kitchen, bath, whole-home, an addition, or design only?
- How much of a change is it — new finishes, a full replacement, or moving walls?
- A budget range, so the estimate starts in the right place.
- Photos of the space today — what lets a contractor read the job before visiting.
- A reference photo or two of a look you're drawn to.
Try it — this is the real form
The same engine a paying business would use, running in demo mode. Answer a couple of questions and watch the brief that would land in the owner's inbox. Nothing is emailed and no account is created.

What the photo does here
Photos of the room as it is today let a contractor or designer read the scope, the condition, and rough measurements before the first visit — a dated galley kitchen with a wall you want opened up tells a very different story than a fresh-finish refresh. A reference shot of a look you like sets the style. Together they turn a vague "we want to redo the kitchen" into an estimate that starts close to right.

What a design-build shop would note: a full-replacement galley kitchen in the $40–75k range
with photos and a clear reference is ready for a scoping visit — worth confirming whether the
wall is load-bearing and whether the timeline leaves room for permit lead time before quoting.What “structured intake” means here
A remodel intake is a hosted request form that captures the project type, how much is changing, a budget range, and photos of the space before anyone visits. Instead of "we're thinking about a remodel, call us," the shop gets a one-page brief — the room, its condition, the scope, and the budget — that tells them whether it's a two-week refresh or a permit-and-structure job before they schedule the walk-through.
Where this is the wrong tool
This is for residential remodels and interior design — kitchens, baths, whole-home projects, additions, and design-only work. It isn't a commercial construction bid tool or a materials estimator, and it never gives permit, code, or construction instructions — your contractor handles that.
