Describe results instead of short labels
“Fix door” leaves important choices unanswered. “Bedroom door rubs at the top and the latch misses the strike; keep the existing handle” explains the result you want. Add the room, quantity and any parts already purchased. Include photos showing the context as well as the damaged detail. Keep personal information and access codes out of planning notes.
Separate known work from investigation
For a known task, list the item count or your assumed technician-hours. Leave hours blank when you need VPS to assess them. Parts sourcing, hidden damage and finish drying may affect the sequence or require a return visit. Place uncertain items on the same list so they are not forgotten, but do not treat a partial priced subtotal as the cost of the whole project.
Review the shared costs and exclusions
The planner uses approved service rates and adds the shared visit/setup line once per project. It does not invent a discount, a universal hourly rate or a price for an unapproved service. Check materials, pickup, disposal, finish work and the number of required visits with VPS. Send the completed list for review; the tool does not book time or authorize payment.
