Site Intelligence & Access Alerts

Concept estimate geometry: 1.3' × 0.8' rectangular footprint derived from area, with interior partitions allowed at 25% of shell perimeter. Replace with measured plan dimensions before purchasing.

Commercial scope: expect metal framing, fire-rated assemblies, commercial fixtures and landlord/tenant coordination.

Demolition assumes non-structural removal with no hazardous materials. A pre-demolition asbestos and lead survey is required; abatement is a separate licensed scope.

Insulation R-values are code minimums for a mixed climate. Verify the energy code path (prescriptive vs. COMcheck/REScheck) for the jurisdiction.

Concept airflow allowance 1 CFM (~0 tons) uses 1 CFM/SF and a commercial SF/ton rule of thumb. Complete Manual N / engineered load and ventilation calculations before equipment selection. Long-lead: verify AHU/RTU availability.

Fixture count derived at one group per 1200 SF. Actual fixture counts must come from the plumbing fixture schedule and the code-required count in the plumbing code table for this occupancy load.

Plumbing is licensed work: permits, inspections and pressure/DWV testing are required. Water service size and meter must be confirmed with the authority having jurisdiction.

Electrical priced at approximately one branch circuit per 250 SF with three-phase 120/208V distribution. A panel schedule, NEC load calculation and lighting photometrics are required before ordering gear.

Licensed electrician, permit and inspection required. Service upgrades and utility coordination have long lead times — verify transformer and gear availability early.

Flooring split assumed 70% resilient / 30% tile. Confirm the finish schedule, and test concrete moisture (ASTM F2170) and flatness before adhesive selection.

Coating quantities cover primer plus two finish coats at 350 SF/gal spread rate on smooth drywall. Deep colors, block filler, existing-surface preparation and high-performance systems change coverage.

Multi-trade package covering Demolition, Metal Stud Framing, Insulation & Air Sealing, Drywall & Finish, HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, Flooring & Tile, Painting & Coatings. Scopes not listed here — permits, design fees, millwork, specialty equipment, elevators, low-voltage/AV, landscaping and general conditions — must be added separately.

Electrical, plumbing and fire protection are licensed trades — permits, licensed installers and inspections are required in every jurisdiction.
