Structured scope definition before money moves.

​

 

What This Is

Plan a Project is the layer where intent becomes defined work.

It allows projects to be structured deliberately before pricing, bidding, or execution begins. Scope is created first. Cost follows second.

This separates Cohos from request based service models that price before clarity exists.

 

Why This Exists

Most service failures originate from vague scope.

When work is loosely defined, outcomes depend on interpretation. That leads to pricing drift, change orders, delays, and disputes.

Plan a Project exists to lock understanding before commitment.

Clear scope reduces downstream noise.

 

How Projects Are Defined

Projects are built around the property, not freeform descriptions.

Work is defined by:

Rooms, surfaces, or zones
Specific service types
Known conditions and constraints
Dependencies between tasks
Phasing and sequencing

The project is spatial, measurable, and reviewable before execution is discussed.

 

Relationship to the Property Model

Plan a Project operates on top of the property’s spatial data.

Because the home is already structured, projects can reference known locations and quantities instead of assumptions.

This allows scope to be precise without requiring a site visit for every decision.

 

How This Changes Pricing

Pricing becomes a response to scope rather than a guess.

Defined projects allow:

Comparable bids
Standardized estimates
Reduced padding for uncertainty
Fewer revisions after approval

The cost reflects the work as planned, not the risk of misunderstanding.

 

Multi Trade Coordination

Projects can include multiple services without fragmentation.

Dependencies are visible.
Overlap is reduced.
Sequencing is intentional.

This enables bundled work to be planned as a single effort rather than disconnected tasks.

 

Operational Impact

By standardizing how projects are planned, Cohos reduces internal interpretation and provider variance.

Scope becomes a shared reference instead of a moving target.

This improves execution consistency without centralizing labor.

 

Role in Long Term Planning

Projects do not disappear after completion.

They remain attached to the property as structured records, informing future maintenance, upgrades, and replacements.

Planning compounds instead of resetting.
