Those scope details matter in addition to the versioned regional market adjustment shown in the planning ranges.

For Des Moines, IA, add a written comparison line for "Existing ductwork or need for new venting" and the project option "New fan location". That line should show what is included now, what depends on evaluation, and what would require a documented change to the proposed total.
