## Questions to resolve

## How to mark the scope

- **Included**: Explicitly included in writing.

- **Excluded**: Explicitly excluded in writing.

- **Not stated**: Missing or uncertain. Ask before assuming.

- **Not applicable**: Confirmed as unnecessary for this project.

Different answers can explain different prices. A complete set of marks does not establish workmanship, licensing, diagnosis or suitability. Confirm the scope and the actual property conditions with the provider.

      

## Five questions for these proposals

- **Suitability.** Which panels are suitable for lifting, and why?

Ask which damaged areas require replacement or a separate assessment.

- **Boundary.** Which panels and adjacent transitions are included?

Mark the boundary so two prices cover the same area.

- **Result.** What elevation and drainage result is agreed?

A lifted joint and a drainage correction are different objectives.

- **Finishing.** Are holes, joints and cracks addressed?

Record patching and any separately quoted joint or crack work.

- **Terms.** What limitations and return-to-use terms apply?

Keep settlement exclusions and actual warranty terms in the proposal.

      

## Public resources for your property

Identify whether the affected concrete is a private drive or patio, or a public sidewalk. Des Moines has separate public-sidewalk requirements; do not assume a private slab-lifting proposal resolves a city notice.

- [Des Moines sidewalk ordinance](https://councildocs.dsm.city/ordinances/16%2C478.pdf) 

The city’s sidewalk provisions concern public sidewalks. Ask the city about its requirements before accepting lifting as a solution for a public walk.

- [Iowa contractor registration](https://dial.iowa.gov/licenses/building/contractors) 

Review DIAL’s construction-contractor registration information and match the chosen business. Registration is not an endorsement of a lifting method.

The slab boundary and intended result matter more than a lifting-method label. Compare assessment, included panels, drainage, joint work and the conditions that can change the scope.
