How should concealed damage be priced?

Use a defined allowance, unit price or approval threshold. Require photographs and a written scope, cost and schedule change before covering the work.

What should be documented during construction?

Keep dated photographs, approved selections, inspection results, changes, payment milestones and product information in one project record.
