2. Confirm scope, access and price

Agree on which structures and accessible areas are included, the documents to be provided, fees, and appointment arrangements. Identify areas that need tenant access or special equipment.

3. Review accessible deck conditions

The contractor condition review considers the accessible areas within the agreed scope. These may include connections, framing, supports, stairs, railings, and deck surfaces. Concealed conditions and structural capacity are not established by a visual visit.

4. Discuss findings and next steps

Review observed concerns, inaccessible areas, repair-estimate needs, and questions requiring another professional. Confirm who is responsible for each next step and whether a recipient needs additional documentation.

What to request in your record

5. Arrange repair follow-through
