A scope checklist for Fort Myers
Consider a phased multifamily renovation as an example. Before the takeoff begins, agree the following checkpoints with your bid team.
- Identify which contractor carries equipment connections, controls and shared supports.
- Separate owner-furnished equipment from contractor-furnished materials.
- Keep mechanical, electrical and plumbing allowances visible when information is incomplete.
Where the drawings leave a quantity, connection or installation condition unresolved, record the assumption or request clarification. The estimate follows the supplied design; it does not replace design approval.
