        "text": "Before your contractor begins, you should measure your space, identify your plumbing layout, and list your household's daily storage and accessibility needs. Determine whether you want built-in recessed niches, shower benches, or grab bars, as these features require solid framing behind the walls before waterproof boards and tile go up. It also helps to consider who uses the shower daily to choose appropriate door styles, sliding systems, or open walk-in entries. Bringing clear photos of the current bathroom and identifying fixture preferences helps streamline the initial planning conversations.",
