Real caseReal case, with names and addresses removed. Nothing on this screen is estimated or filled in to cover a gap.
DecideThe recommendation, what it costs and how ready it is

What should we spend on this unit between tenancies?

Property not yet confirmed
We know a tenancy is ending, but not which unit
No recommendation yet

We cannot recommend spending yet

A tenancy is ending and the unit needs to be re-let, but the facts needed to cost the work and compare the options are not on file.

Confirm the property

Identifying the unit comes first; every other fact depends on it.

  1. Recommendation
    Needs evidence
  2. Approve for firm quotes
  3. Confirm final budget
  4. Authorize work
UnderstandWhy this option, against what, and what could change it

Why we are not recommending a spend yet

What property/unit does the available turnover evidence belong to?

Required to correlate later lease, inspection, quote and market evidence without guessing.

What is the current authoritative monthly rent immediately before move-out?

Required for deterministic lost-rent and incremental-rent economics.

What capital objective and constraints has the owner actually authorized for this turn?

May change which strategies are acceptable even when economics are favorable.

What condition and repair scope is established by current inspection evidence?

Changes direct cost, downtime and whether optimization scope is justified.

Your three options

Same property, same method, three ways to spend.

Do Nothing / Defer

Re-let at today's rent after only the touch-ups the turnover requires. Elective work is put off, not cancelled.

Two source records sit behind this. BuildWorks keeps what a document says separate from what it worked out, and never promotes one into the other.

Assumptions and limits

What this decision takes as given, and what it does not claim
  • Nothing is assumed in place of a missing fact. Every unknown stays marked as missing until evidence arrives.
  • A proposed rent is shown as a proposal, not as market evidence or owner approval.
