Inspiration boards

A Pinterest board helps you collect ideas for finishes, layouts and details in one place. Public boards can be found by others; private boards are visible to you and invited collaborators. Note what you like in each image, such as the materials, the layout or the storage details.

Shared folders

A Google Drive folder can hold room photos, plans and notes in one place. Choose who can open it and review their access before sharing. Files inside a shared folder inherit its permissions, so check who can view or edit them before sharing the folder with a contractor.

Project Files

Lead to Scope brings photos, plans, priorities and questions together. Prepare, review and approve your file for free, then choose which contractors receive it. Contractors need an account and credits: $10 for one or $45 for five. Reopen eligible files at no added cost.

How credits work

Before sharing, ask if the contractor will review your file.

A fictional example

Put ideas to work

A homeowner wants easier pantry access and better kitchen light while keeping the layout if practical. Their notes give a contractor useful context and a starting point for discussing options.

Inspiration: A saved photo shows the pantry storage and accessible shelves they would like to have.
Priority: Easier pantry access and better lighting matter more than changing the kitchen layout.
Question: Could the existing kitchen layout fit a larger pantry with more accessible shelves?

Prepare your next step

Bring it together

Gather current photos, note your priorities and write down your questions. Give each contractor the same starting information, then ask what else they need to assess the work, discuss the options and prepare an estimate for your project before your next conversation.

After a visit, record open questions and what each person agreed to do. Confirm how and when the contractor would like to receive any additional project details.
