Sample Scope
Walkthroughs.
Each walkthrough uses a representative project of a common type to show how we build the estimate: what we quantify, which codes drive scope, and what we send back as RFIs.
These are not client case studies. Buildings, locations, quantities and figures are illustrative examples of typical projects, not records of specific engagements or results.
Electrical Estimate — 42-Story Office Tower
How we check a feeder schedule against NEC ampacity rules, price busway versus conduit-and-wire risers, coordinate cable tray, and carry temporary power as real scope.
HVAC Estimate — 280-Bed California Hospital
Seismic restraint of MEP systems, a room-by-room ASHRAE 170 ventilation matrix, ICRA measures, and NFPA 99 medical gas with third-party verification.
Plumbing Takeoff — 1,200-Student K-12 Campus
IPC minimum fixture counts worked out for a Group E occupancy, accessibility items that change rough-in, a PDI G101 interceptor sizing example, and Texas prevailing wage.
Process Piping Estimate — Refinery Turnaround
Quantities from P&IDs and isometrics, weld classification under ASME B31.3, radiographic testing priced from weld counts, and compounding productivity factors.
Concrete Estimate — Post-Tension Parking Garage
PT tendon quantities and local pricing, shoring versus flying tables, an ACI 318-19 Class B lap splice calculation, and coastal corrosion and connection details.
The VFD Disconnect: Div 23 vs. Div 26 Scope Gap
How conflicting HVAC and electrical specifications leave VFD mounting, disconnects and control wiring unclaimed, and how a bid-leveling plug exposes it.
Cold-Weather Concrete: Pricing Heat, Protection and Yield
Pricing cold-weather protection under ACI 306, under-slab insulation that changes concrete yield, and documenting costs that were assumed to be incidental.
