Chimney, air duct and dryer vent work across 10 places in Prince George's County. Prince George's County ranges from close-in older neighbourhoods to newer development further out, with a large amount of multi-unit and rental housing in between.

Yes. Multi-unit buildings and commercial installations are scoped the same way as a house — against the installation actually present, which in those buildings usually means shared runs and access that has to be arranged first.
Frequently. Describe everything you are noticing across the chimney, the ductwork and the dryer, and the scope comes back covering what actually needs doing rather than one system at a time.
