Step 3 is sketching your ideas on paper (or digitally) and developing the spec plan.
The spec plan determines what type of bathroom materials and design considerations that will be needed. It will also contain the product specifications for each bath remodeling element.
You will use the spec plan and architectural design to bid the project out to a contractor.
