What Changes the Scope

Foundation type, the extent of movement, repair access, and the proposed approach influence the work. Drainage, concrete removal, and restoration can add related tasks that should be identified clearly.

Compare Like for Like

Check that proposals cover the same areas and describe access, cleanup, documentation, and any exclusions. A total without a defined scope is difficult to compare.

Ask About Timing and Phasing

Some scopes can be sequenced, while others should be addressed together. Ask what the recommendation depends on and what should be watched if any work is deferred.
