Boston planning context
Boston's official 2024 profile reports that 60.1% of the city's occupied housing units were renter-occupied, based on 2022 American Community Survey data. That housing mix makes a clearly defined bathroom-remodel scope especially useful: the planning process should distinguish essential functional changes from optional upgrades and document the intended outcome before work begins. A precise scope helps keep decisions aligned with the specific home, household needs, and long-term residential plans.
