Checking understanding without pressuring a decision
Understanding the proposal and agreeing to it are different outcomes.
A practical approach
Ask the homeowner to describe the parts they want clarified and how the proposed scope relates to their goal. Invite questions about limitations as well as benefits. Do not treat a request for more review time as evidence that the explanation failed. Record the information still needed and agree on an appropriate follow-up.
Put it into practice
- Invite clarification
- Discuss limitations openly
- Respect review time
