# 163 Hopetoun Ave Vaucluse – Cabana

**Folder structure note:** Hus's vault uses non-canonical layout — single `_Job Overview.md` + `Site Diary/` subfolder. No 11-folder shape; no BoQ / drawings / contracts in mirror. Heavy artefacts (Management Suite xlsx) at source path only.

**Scope note:** This is residential carpentry (cabana framing) for a private client, NOT the LFCS standard 4-scope FRP package (formwork/steel-fix/concrete/curing). Limited transfer to FRP precedent matching, but useful for: residential-direct posture, day-rate carpentry, eastern-suburbs LAFHA decisions, RFI cadence patterns.

## For `lfo-precedent-finder`

Strong-match signals:
- HC = none (direct private client) — MATCH FILTER for any future direct-private-client jobs (rare in LFCS subcontract pipeline)
- Site type = residential cabana (single-storey timber-frame outbuilding)
- Scope items = none of {formwork, steel-fix, concrete, curing} — pure carpentry
- Design maturity = TBC — RFIs raised mid-construction suggests <IFC at start
- Site postcode region = 2030 Vaucluse / Eastern Suburbs Sydney (high-net-worth residential corridor)

Weak-match signals (extract on deep-pass if precedent fires):
- Final submitted total ex GST: TBC
- Architect: NDRSN (per RFI 001)
- Supervisor model: 1 supervisor + 1 apprentice (Ardi + Amaan)
- Materials issue pattern: 6 critical items had no PO at start of works → scope-of-supply discipline gap
- LAFHA decision: Vaucluse 2030 → Botany ~30 min drive → §13.1 = OUT (auto-decidable for future Eastern Suburbs jobs)

## Open follow-ups

1. Architect identity confirmation (NDRSN — full firm name?)
2. Final contract value once works complete
3. Whether Malcolm rate-buildup exists or job ran on rate-card alone
4. Materials-discipline pattern → candidate lesson on PO-coverage check before Day 1
