Scope
Define exact areas to be covered, removal scope, disposal responsibilities, floor elevations, and finish edges to avoid ambiguity on what the installer will deliver.

Use by these groups ensures expectations are aligned, creates a record for disputes, and supports insurance or warranty claims when needed.
