Proposal of Work
Prepared for Kate Woods + Family
Renovating a highly used space like your kitchen—especially in a home that supports cooking, homeschooling, and multiple generations—requires thoughtful planning to keep daily life running smoothly. Our goal is to create an organized and functional temporary setup so your family can continue to cook, learn, and live comfortably throughout the renovation.
As we pack and prepare the kitchen and surrounding areas, we will carefully categorize the contents and identify the items you will need regular access to during the renovation. Frequently used items will be organized and accessible within a temporary kitchen setup in the sunroom, while less-needed items will be packed and stored in designated areas, such as the upstairs room if additional space is required.
This approach allows us to protect and organize your belongings while maintaining a practical and workable environment until your new kitchen is complete.

SCOPE of work
During this phase, we will sort through the contents of the space and identify any items that can be donated or discarded prior to packing.
Items will then be categorized based on their current location and intended temporary placement during the renovation. Each category will be packed and clearly labeled according to our system, allowing for an organized transition to alternate locations within the home.
This labeling system ensures items remain easy to locate and access during the renovation while also preparing them for efficient unpacking and placement once the kitchen is complete.
To help the home remain comfortable and functional during construction, Trazo will organize the space into clear working zones, including a temporary kitchen area, accessible storage for daily-use items, and packed storage for items not needed during the renovation.
TEMPORARY KITCHEN SETUP
To support daily routines during the renovation, Trazo Design will create a temporary kitchen setup in the sunroom. Frequently used cookware, small appliances, dishes, and pantry items will be organized and placed for easy access.
We will work with you to identify the items your family uses most often for cooking, schooling, and everyday routines. These items will remain accessible, while the remainder of the kitchen contents will be carefully packed, labeled, and stored in designated areas of the home.
Our goal is to create a setup that allows your family to continue preparing meals and using the space comfortably while protecting and organizing the majority of kitchen contents during the renovation.

shop+ source
TRAZO will make all purchases needed unless otherwise discussed. SHOP + SOURCE is time spent making those purchases + supply runs.
SUPPLIES+ extras
At the start of the project, Trazo Design will purchase the packing supplies and products needed to efficiently complete the work. We will estimate these materials as accurately as possible in advance.
Because the exact quantity of supplies and any additional contracted services (such as movers, specialty services, or disposal) can vary as the project progresses, the final cost for supplies, products, and extras will be determined during the course of the project. All supplies, products, and contracted services will be itemized separately from Trazo Service Invoice.
Final amount determined as the project progresses; only items used for your project will be billed. This allows us to purchase only what is needed for your project while maintaining clear and transparent accounting throughout the process.
Project management
Throughout the project, Trazo Design will maintain clear and consistent communication to ensure the process runs smoothly. We will provide periodic updates on progress, upcoming phases of work, and any adjustments that may be needed as the project moves forward.
For longer projects, we will schedule check-in points to review progress, discuss any questions, and ensure the project continues to align with your goals.
To support this coordination, one hour of project management will be included per work day to cover planning, communication, scheduling, and oversight outside of on-site work.
Our goal is to keep the process organized, transparent, and comfortable for you from start to finish.
For your project, additional leadership and project coordination will be built into our team structure, with team leads present to support communication, organization, and oversight throughout the process.
ExpanDed team support
At times during the project, additional team members may be added to support specific phases of work. This allows us to move efficiently through larger tasks while maintaining organization and oversight from the core Trazo team.
Team support may include additional organizers, team leads, or temporary support members who assist with project-specific tasks such as packing, sorting, label removal, inventory work, home monitoring, or other logistical needs.
Additional team members may be scheduled during larger phases of the project to maintain efficiency and keep the project moving forward.
If an accelerated timeline is desired, Trazo may deploy additional teams to complete the work more quickly, depending on project needs and team lead availability.
Any additional team support will be discussed in advance and reflected within the project hours. Team size and staffing will be determined based on the needs of the project to ensure efficiency, organization, and appropriate oversight.
For projects located outside our immediate service area, travel time will be billed at 50% of our standard hourly rate for the time required to travel to and from the project location.
Trazo Design does not charge additional mileage fees, and travel time is reduced to help offset the cost of transporting our team and materials to your home.

NEXT STEPS
Renovating a central space in the home can be a disruptive process, and it is truly a privilege to support families during these transitions. Our goal is to help maintain function and organization throughout the renovation so your home can continue to operate as smoothly as possible.
Specifics regarding supplies, products, and any additional purchases will be confirmed and sourced as the project progresses.
This proposal reflects our best estimate of time based on the scope of the project. Every home progresses a little differently, and timelines may adjust depending on the volume of belongings, decision-making during the process, and any adjustments requested during the renovation. Our goal is always to work efficiently, and we are hopeful the project may take less time than estimated.
We typically request a partial deposit prior to the start of the project, and Trazo will send an invoice before the first scheduled work day.
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. When you are ready to move forward, simply click “Approve This Estimate” to confirm the proposal and reserve your place on our schedule.
