Summary

One‑page scope recap: inclusions, exclusions, assumptions, and risks. Perfect for attaching to bids and vendor RFQs.

Accuracy That Protects Your Bid

Accuracy

±2–5% variance against awarded buyout on recent competitive bids across MEP scopes.

Speed

3–7 days typical turnaround for mid-size projects with clear bid dates and sheet sets.

Clarity

100% line-item traceability from PDF markups to workbook IDs and summary narratives.

  • Sheet index control
  • Spec alignment
  • Addenda tracking
  • Alt/VE scenarios

Assumptions & Clarifications

What We Include

  • Quantities taken directly from the latest issued drawings and addenda; we flag discrepancies with RFIs where needed.
  • Breakdowns by level, area, and system to align with subcontractor and vendor packages.
  • Counts for fixtures, devices, equipment, and specialties with tag references for submittals.
  • Allowance logic for fittings, supports, and small materials documented on the summary sheet.

What We Clarify

  • Hidden or typical details not shown (shafts, sleeves, firestopping) are identified and quantified using project standards.
  • Spec-driven alternates (copper vs. PEX, EMT vs. MC, tray vs. conduit) are split as separate options when applicable.
  • Demo and relocation scope is identified when drawings provide legible layers and legends.
  • Site utilities are included when sheets and profiles are issued; otherwise we provide a unit‑rate placeholder.
