What the example includes—and leaves out
Document current material, moisture evidence, wiring and access constraints. Resolve any condition requiring another trade before pricing a straightforward addition.
Outside this scope: No existing insulation removal, air sealing, ventilation alteration, moisture repair or hazardous-material handling.
Keep unresolved selections and site conditions visible. If a measurement, material choice or repair requirement changes, revise the relevant quantity or allowance and share the updated estimate before proceeding with the added work.
