01
Which areas and decisions belong in the scope?
- List every affected pedestrian route, entry and neighboring slab before anyone prices the work.
- Confirm who can authorize the repair, such as the owner or manager, and what they need in writing.
- Ask how access will be handled while each slab is out of use.
- Confirm that the proposed scope fits the actual property rather than assuming a residential repair applies.
02
How should access and scheduling be discussed?
- Map the affected routes, including any pedestrian and vehicle paths that must stay open.
- Ask how the contractor will sequence the work so entries and walkways remain usable where possible.
- Agree on return-to-use instructions for each area before work begins.
- Confirm applicable access requirements with the contractor and the responsible authority, because a proposal alone does not establish compliance.
03
How can proposals be compared on equal terms?
- Check that each proposal covers the same affected areas, so the totals reflect comparable work.
- Compare the method, preparation, exclusions and cleanup listed in writing.
- Keep structural or engineered-load concerns in their own qualified scope, separate from ordinary slab lifting.
