Scope checklist.
At the outset of any project considering mass timber, it’s important for project teams to clearly delineate scope.
Different mass timber companies offer different levels of support and engagement and provide services that vary from one to the next. To help project teams better understand the roles and responsibilities on mass timber projects, we’ve put together the below scope checklist.
We’ve pre-filled the checklist to show how Fort Point Timber typically delineates responsibilities on our projects. You are welcome to use our checklist to help discuss scope with any prospective mass timber partner.
The following is an example only. At the outset of every project, we’ll always review the checklist to discuss and finalize roles with a project team so we are all clear on who is responsible for what.
