Main scope drivers
- Existing demolition and disposal
- Drain relocation or plumbing changes
- Shower valve and fixture changes
- Waterproofing system and substrate repair
- Tile size, pattern and layout complexity
- Niches, benches, curbs and transitions
- Glass size and hardware
Hidden conditions matter
Water damage, rotten framing, slab work or plumbing that is not where the new design needs it can change the scope after demolition. Good documentation makes those changes easier to explain.
The finished tile is only part of the system
A durable shower depends on the work behind the tile, including drainage, slope, backing, waterproofing and properly treated penetrations.
