SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Most Israeli home renovations start on a WhatsApp thread with no written scope, no payment structure, and no warranty terms, leaving both homeowner and tradesperson exposed when disputes arise. This Skill turns the job into an itemized scope of work, a milestone-based payment schedule with retention, and engagement terms grounded in the Contract for Services Law (chozeh kablanut), which carries no warranty schedule of its own. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Scope of Work Builder: Produces a room-by-room, trade-by-trade scope with quantities, specifications, supply responsibility, and explicit exclusions to prevent inflated extras. - Payment Schedule with Retention: Ties payments to verified completion stages rather than dates, with a retention anchored in the deduct-and-self-cure remedy of Section 4, plus an optional Python script that validates the schedule sums to 100 percent. - Permit and Licensing Gate: Tests the job against the five statutory conditions of the internal-change carve-out, the registered-contractor thresholds, and the structural-work limb that applies at any value. - Use Case: A homeowner planning a kitchen renovation asks what to put in writing before paying; the Skill produces the scope, a staged payment plan with retention, per-trade warranty periods, delay compensation terms, and a handover checklist. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to draft a scope of work and payment schedule for your planned renovation, stating whether you are the homeowner or the tradesperson.

Frequently Asked Questions about israeli-renovation-scope-builder

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a scope of work for an Israeli home renovation?

List every trade and room with quantities, specifications, who supplies each item, and explicit exclusions, since unlisted items are how extras inflate the price. The Skill generates this scope plus a milestone payment schedule tied to verified completion rather than calendar dates.

How should renovation payments to a contractor be split in Israel?

Tie each payment to a verified completion stage, never to a date, and hold a retention released only after handover and the first defect window. There is no statutory or standard split, so the parties choose the numbers; the optional script checks the schedule sums to 100 percent.

Does a renovation in Israel require a building permit?

Section 145(a)(2) requires a permit for any repair, with relief only through the internal-change carve-out defined by five negative conditions. Moving a shared riser, touching the structural skeleton, or splitting a unit takes the job outside the carve-out and into permit territory.

What warranty periods apply to renovation work in Israel?

No statutory warranty schedule applies to renovations; the commonly quoted periods come from the Sale (Apartments) Law governing new apartments from developers. Warranty periods for waterproofing, tiling, carpentry, electrical, plumbing, and paint must be set contractually per trade.

When should I not use this renovation scope skill?

Do not use it for defects in a new apartment from a developer, building on your own land, freelance or employment contracts, pricing a quote, suing a contractor, or complaining about a neighbour's renovation noise. Those cases route to other skills or a licensed advocate.
