Ask the installer to confirm the required applications before assigning submission duties. Record who prepares the plans, answers review comments and provides the application numbers.

Discuss closeout before installation starts

Ask the installer and Building Department whether it applies to your project, who completes it and when it belongs in the record. Its presence in the library does not establish the complete requirements for your system. City forms library
Make the final-document list part of your discussion before signing. Ask how you will obtain inspection results, final drawings and any required completion documents. Agree who follows up if the installation is physically finished but paperwork remains open.

Ask whether the price includes application work and closeout support. Use your bills and the proposed layout when assessing savings. The calculator illustrates assumptions; it is not a measured Stamford average.
