Write a one-page scope letter

Describe the existing room, the problems you want to solve and the proposed work in plain language. Identify cabinet replacement, appliance changes and any intended movement of walls, water, power or exhaust. Put undecided options in their own section rather than treating them as approved work.

Attach a rough existing layout and a proposed version. Mark dimensions as preliminary until your installer checks them. Give every bidder the same dated information so an alternative price does not quietly use a different scope.

  • List retained appliances by model.
  • Identify who confirms final field dimensions.
  • Photograph delivery access and all kitchen walls.

Use the Missouri city’s kitchen-remodel instructions

Kansas City, Missouri’s Code Questions page specifically asks homeowners planning a kitchen remodel to provide a written scope of work and existing and proposed floor plans through CompassKC. It also identifies separate applications for plumbing, electrical or HVAC work when applicable.

Use that guidance with your project professional and confirm what the complete submission needs. Kansas City, Kansas and other communities in the metro are separate jurisdictions. The market name alone does not establish the permit process or the authority responsible for your address.

Turn that same scope into a buying comparison

Request cabinet sizes, construction, finish, hardware and accessories against the agreed drawing. Include fillers, exposed panels and trim. Specify the countertop material, edge, sink and cutouts rather than leaving them inside an undefined allowance.

Compare delivery, installation, trade labor, taxes, permit-related costs and membership alongside products. Ask who receives the shipment, inspects it and manages replacement items. A confidential wholesale quote is useful when it is aligned with the same written scope as the other options.

  • Record exclusions next to each total.
  • Approve substitutions in writing.
  • Keep the scope letter updated when the layout changes.

Should my contractor and cabinet quote use the same drawing?

Yes. Share the current, dated layout and written scope with each party, then have the responsible professionals verify technical details. Kansas City, Missouri’s guidance uses existing and proposed plans; the buying comparison should not rely on a superseded version.
