Groundwork San Antonio · Private comparison worksheet
Compare foundation proposals by what they document
Record what each private proposal actually covers — observations, investigation, scope and method, exclusions, permits, warranty terms and open questions. The matrix shows missing information, not a quality score. Nothing here diagnoses structural movement, recommends a repair or quotes a price.
How this worksheet works
- Fill in only what a proposal states. If it is unstated, leave it and the matrix flags the gap.
- Mark each item as documented, partly documented, not documented or not applicable per proposal.
- Everything stays in this page. Nothing is sent, stored or shared; export a local Markdown file when you are ready.
- This is an independent publication, not an engineering or contracting service and not a licensed business.
