A clearer start to the conversation
Olive Building is an independent resource for people preparing a renovation brief, comparing proposals and keeping track of decisions. Its original guides focus on practical questions and records you can bring to the relevant professionals.
Sources have a place and a scope
Guides link to primary consumer, environmental and government resources where they support a topic. US and UK examples are labeled so that a reader can distinguish a useful planning question from a rule that applies to a particular jurisdiction. Referencing a source does not imply endorsement or affiliation.
The worksheet is a planning aid
The scope-note worksheet keeps the project area, your chosen dollar allowance and main priority together. Its fixed 70% / 15% / 15% split is an arithmetic illustration. It is not a recommended allocation, contractor quote, cost estimate or professional assessment.
The actual project needs its own review
Olive Building does not provide contractor services, provider verification, project inspections or bookings. Discuss actual work, permissions, materials and written terms with the responsible people and appropriate authorities. Coarse activity totals help identify useful guides and tools without storing your project inputs.
