Your next decision, written down
The Chimney Decision Notebook
A better contractor conversation begins with two lists: what you know, and what still needs an answer.
No account, storage or automatic submission. Entries stay only in this page and disappear on reload. Copy or print before leaving. Do not enter private access codes or sensitive information.
Separate known answers from open questions
Record the answer and where it came from: a dated report, the written quote or a direct conversation. Leaving a field empty is more useful than assuming it is covered.
0 of 4 scope items have notes. This measures documentation—not safety or contractor quality.
