Record known condition
Use the repair step to capture visible or reported condition and select the scope that best reflects the opportunity. Add notes for important uncertainty instead of hiding it inside a single total.
Treat the estimate as an assumption
Generated repair ranges help screening and negotiation, but they do not replace an inspection or contractor quote. Structural, mechanical, environmental, permitting, and local labor issues may require professional review.
When the property condition changes or better evidence arrives, update the repair assumption and rerun the affected analysis. Confirm the revised number appears in the final package before relying on the outcome or offer.
