What exists
Material identification and assembly understanding come first. Without knowing how the building was put together, repair scopes become speculative.

Damage documentation should map to assemblies and locations. Patterns matter as much as individual defects.
What work is necessary
Necessary work includes not only replacing damaged parts, but also the disturbance, protection, and detailing required to complete reconstruction properly.
