Explaining roofing material allowances
An allowance should be understandable as an assumption that may require later confirmation.
A practical approach
Identify the product or quantity covered and the condition that could change it. Ask the reviewer to explain how the final selection affects the proposal. Keep allowances separate from fixed, confirmed scope items. Do not describe every unknown quantity as included unless the applicable document clearly supports that interpretation.
Put it into practice
- Name the allowance
- Explain what can change it
- Separate confirmed scope
