Supporting detail
Scope development starts with verified damage: what was destroyed, what can be repaired, and what code or life-safety requirements apply to the rebuild.
The scope should be reviewed against the approved claim before construction begins, and any discrepancies between documented damage and the approved scope should be resolved in writing.
Long-lead materials, specialty systems, and code-triggered upgrades should be identified early in scope development, since they can affect both schedule and cost.
A finalized scope document, shared with ownership, the adjuster, and the construction team, becomes the reference point for tracking progress and any later changes.
