  1. Work outside the agreed written scope is priced separately.
  2. Specialist investigation, concealed repairs, and related finish work must be identified before they are included.

Questions

What people ask first

Can another builder complete an unfinished project?
Potentially, after reviewing the work, records, permissions, and responsibilities involved. Existing conditions and concealed work need careful assessment before a reliable completion scope can be agreed.
How is project completion and punch-list work priced?
The estimate depends on the project size, existing conditions, access, materials, and work included. Any figures shown here are demonstration planning examples, not a contractor quote.
What happens if the scope changes?
The proposed change should explain the additional or omitted work, price, and schedule effect so it can be reviewed before proceeding.
