Identify the Reviewing Authority

The city, town, county or HOA determines the plan format, materials, timing and certification rules.

Confirm the Scope and Schedule

The quote should state the work included, site-access assumptions and any separately coordinated services.

Install to the Accepted Plan

Poles, lines, flagging or netting are placed to represent the key building outline shown on the project plan and required by the reviewer.

Project photographs and certification coordination are handled when they are part of the approved scope or jurisdiction requirements.

Follow the Review and Removal Instructions

The reviewing authority controls how long the poles remain. Removal and any continued-hearing work should be confirmed in the quote.
