Before you book sauna, cold plunge & wine cellar build
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
Pick the room and the use
Decide which build you want and how many people will use it. Size, ventilation and equipment all follow from this, and bidders need it to start.
Photograph the location
Take pictures of the proposed room, the walls, the floor, the nearest panel and any drain. Photos let a pro suggest changes before visiting.
Send your equipment list
If you have a heater, chiller or cooling unit in mind, share the make, model and electrical requirements. The room must be built around them.
Ask about moisture layers
Ask each bidder where the vapor barrier goes and how the room dries. A contractor who cannot explain this may be guessing.
Check your panel
Take a photo of the panel and note the amps and open slots. Ask whether it can carry the new circuit or needs an upgrade.
Plan for use and cleaning
Think about how you will clean, dry and maintain the room, and about towels, drains and storage. Tell the pro so surfaces and layout make this easy.
