Built around the restoration workflow

The details already exist in the work.

Room and elevation scope, measurement evidence, material and labor pricing, company packages and rules, PM-entered prices, manager approval, audit history, and PDF or spreadsheet outputs stay connected rather than becoming separate handoffs.
