A crew hands the owner the pamphlet at the end of the first day, after demolition has already started. Does this satisfy the rule?
- Yes, as long as it is delivered within 7 days of starting the work
- Yes, as long as the owner signs for it that day
- No, the pamphlet must be mailed, not handed over
- No, the pamphlet must be provided before the renovation begins
Show the answer
D. No, the pamphlet must be provided before the renovation begins
The pamphlet is a pre-renovation requirement: it must reach the owner before work begins, except in an emergency. A signature after the fact does not cure late delivery.

For work in an owner-occupied house, how does the firm document hand delivery of the pamphlet?
- A written acknowledgment signed by the owner
- A photograph of the pamphlet on the kitchen table
- A note in the estimator's own calendar
- A verbal confirmation from the owner by phone
Show the answer
A. A written acknowledgment signed by the owner
When the pamphlet is delivered to an owner, the firm obtains a written acknowledgment of receipt; the alternative is a certificate of mailing at least 7 days ahead. Informal notes and verbal confirmations are not accepted proof.
