This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

Ranked material inventory with photos; Product documentation for the replacement (Red-List-free/Declare); Before/after photos of the completed swap

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Bring

• the specified compliant replacement material from the screening plan, with its Declare or equivalent documentation
• hand and power tools for the trade being performed
• floor protection, containment sheeting and tape
• N95/P100 respirator, nitrile gloves and eye protection
• camera and a moisture meter where a floor covering is being replaced

Steps

1. 1. Confirm with the facility manager which item from the screening plan is being replaced, that the compliant alternative on site is the one the plan named, and when the space can actually be taken out of service. Substituting a different product on site defeats the entire point of the plan.
2. 2. Confirm the space is releasable and the work window is real: occupancy moved or scheduled around, access controlled, and the ventilation arrangement agreed with the building engineer so the work does not push fumes into an occupied zone.
3. 3. Photograph the existing finish as found, then protect the space: containment and floor protection in place, and adjacent surfaces masked.
4. 4. Remove the flagged material. If removal reveals a substrate condition the plan did not anticipate (moisture, previous adhesive, suspected asbestos backing or pre-1978 paint), STOP and record it rather than covering it.
5. 5. Prepare the substrate to the new material's requirements, including a moisture reading where the manufacturer specifies one for a floor covering. Installing over a substrate outside the specified moisture range voids the warranty and fails early.
6. 6. Install the compliant material to the manufacturer's instructions, using the low-emission adhesives and sealants the specification calls for rather than whatever is on the truck.
7. 7. Ventilate and cure for the manufacturer's stated period BEFORE the space is handed back, and confirm with the facility manager that the space stays out of use until then. A low-emission material installed and handed back wet is not a healthier space.
8. 8. Hand over the record: before and after photos from matching vantages, the product documentation for what was installed, any substrate condition found, and the cure period observed; sign.

What counts as done

• Ranked material inventory with photos
• Product documentation for the replacement (Red-List-free/Declare)
• Before/after photos of the completed swap

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
