Comparison
What changes the answer
| Factor | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| System scope | Compare canopy, filters, plenum, accessible ducts, fan, and containment line by line. |
| Access assumptions | Note roof entry, panels, fan hinges, locked areas, alarms, and landlord coordination. |
| Documentation | List the report, matched photos, service label, invoice, and exception notes. |
| Exclusions | Identify filter replacement, access-panel work, repairs, heavy buildup, or return visits. |
| Price changes | Require a clear approval step before additional work changes the amount. |
