Retain / repair / replace

Whole home

Best for

Sound construction with surface damage — the fault is cosmetic, not structural.

Watch out

Repair reveals its own scope once opened; budget for a finding, not just the visible fault.

Cost effect

Lower than replacement, but less predictable.

Scope effect

Needs a hold point after opening up, so the decision can change on evidence.

Responsible

Coordinated by ELS

Best for

Improving something that works — better performance without full replacement.

Watch out

The temptation is to upgrade what is visible rather than what fails; check the reasoning.

Cost effect

Between repair and replace.

Scope effect

Confirm the upgrade is compatible with what is retained around it.

Responsible

Coordinated by ELS

Best for

Where the element has failed or will fail within the life of the renovation.

Watch out

Replacement pulls in the adjoining trades — you rarely replace one thing on its own.

Cost effect

The highest of the four.

Scope effect

Sequencing matters: identify which trades follow, and in what order.
