Define the scope and budget for my kitchen or bath renovation

Help me define the scope and budget for my renovation. This is step 1 of renovating my kitchen or bathroom. Room: [kitchen / bathroom - size and current layout] What's wrong with it now: [e.g. "no counter space, cabinets falling apart, poor lighting"] What I want: [WISH LIST] Budget: [MAX AMOUNT and how I'm paying - savings, loan, credit] Home age and known issues: [e.g. "1960s house, old wiring, slow drain"] How long I plan to stay: [YEARS] DIY skills: [none / some painting and demo / experienced] Do this: 1. Sort my wish list into must-do (safety, function, failing parts), want, and nice-to-have. Point out whether moving plumbing, gas, or walls is driving the cost, and what keeping the current layout could save. 2. Split my budget across typical categories: design, demolition, cabinets, counters, fixtures, appliances, flooring, electrical, plumbing, labor, permits, and finishes. Mark all percentages and costs as [CONFIRM with local quotes]. 3. Set a contingency of 10-20% (higher for older homes) and say what it covers: hidden rot, old wiring, mold, code upgrades. 4. Flag work that usually needs a permit and a licensed pro (electrical, plumbing, gas, structural) - rules vary by location. 5. Suggest a budget version, a mid version, and the version I described, with what changes between them. Return a one-page scope summary and a budget table (Category | Low | High | Notes). Keep it - next I'll turn it into a design brief.
