FAQ

Will it fit a house that isn't on the water?

Yes. Remove the four-page cottage and waterfront module from the manual and turn the cottage switch off in the schedule. Mark any system the house does not have as not applicable.

Whose name is on it?

Yours. The manual carries [Your logo] on the cover and last page and [Your company] in every footer. It does not mention this store.

Can I hand it over for every home I build?

Yes. One purchase covers your business's own projects. Start each home from the blank workbook, enter the possession date, and edit the manual's systems to match the house.

Who confirms the care steps?

You and your trades. The steps are general starting points; have each trade confirm them for what they installed, and put the manufacturers' instructions first. The safety notes send homeowners to licensed trades.
A note on tax and retainage

The care steps, frequencies and safety notes in the manual are general and make no code claims. Confirm them with your trades and the manufacturers before you hand the manual over. The warranty page is a placeholder for your own program or terms; confirm warranty rules with your lawyer. Sample documents, not legal or tax advice. Confirm with your accountant and lawyer.
