Question:
Makeovers R Us specialises in managing house and garden renovations. Their clients are usually busy couples and families who do not have the time to manage their own renovation projects and people who are just daunted by the whole idea.
Makeovers R Us can provide the expertise, including architects, landscape designers, builders, painters, electricians, wreckers, rubbish removalists and interior designers, and manage the entire project from scoping and preparation to completion.
Its claim is that it will manage the project: 'On time, on budget, to your specifications.'
Cecile, an accountant, has asked Makeovers R Us to manage her kitchen renovations. This will be a complete makeover—everything to go with installing a new stove, sink, fridge, dishwasher, benches and cupboards. Cecile has prepared a list of specifications.
Cecile's specifications:
- everything in the kitchen except the crockery, food and cutlery is to go; the crockery, etc, will need to be stored somewhere else as she has little storage in the house
- she will require somewhere to make a cup of coffee and heat the occasional meal throughout the renovations and somewhere to keep the milk and other fridge things. She does not want her huge fridge from the kitchen in the lounge room or anywhere else during the renovations
- the paint colour needs to tone with the benches; however, she is unsure what finish she wants on the benches. She would like some samples and prices to consider
- the stove, fridge and dishwasher need to be of good quality, but not over-the-top prices. She would like Makeovers R Us to make recommendations based on price and quality
- she is unsure of what to do with the cat while the renovations are happening, as it usually has the run of the house
- everything must be finished in five weeks as Cecile's mother is coming to stay
Cecile does not have a fixed budget for the renovations but is getting three quotes for the job and will decide who to contract based on her assessment of which company:
- is best able to assure her that they can finish the job in five weeks
- has the best solution for storing the kitchen equipment during the renovation
- can come up with a reasonable temporary kitchen space during the renovations
Based on the project, Makeovers R Us:
