Build a complete scope
- The design pressure at this address and which products are approved for it
- Whether frequent turnover has left a mix of units and ages to reconcile
- Openings measured individually rather than assumed uniform
- Flashing and sealing against wind-driven rain on exposed elevations
- Permit and inspection handling, disposal, and the warranty terms
