What's Included
Complete Specialties & Equipment Takeoff
Every specialties takeoff is 100% schedule-referenced — every partition, locker, sign, and equipment item tied to its specification section and room number.
Toilet Partitions & Accessories
Toilet partitions by material (HDPE, phenolic, powder-coated steel, stainless) and configuration — unit counts by stall type. Toilet accessories (dispensers, grab bars, mirrors) counted by room.
Lockers & Storage Systems
Lockers by material, size, and tier configuration — unit counts from locker schedules. Benches, bases, and end panels counted separately.
Signage & Wayfinding
Interior and exterior signage — unit counts by sign type, size, and mounting method from signage schedules. ADA-compliant room identification signs counted separately.
Fire Extinguisher Cabinets & Safety Equipment
FEC units by type (recessed, semi-recessed, surface), fire blanket cabinets, and safety equipment — unit counts from architectural plans and specifications.
Equipment & Furnishings
Fixed and movable equipment from equipment schedules — unit counts by equipment type, model, and location. Food service equipment, laboratory equipment, and FF&E allowances noted.
Excel Workbook + Annotated Markups
Quantities in Excel organized by specification section and room — with annotated PDF markups tied to floor plans, schedules, and detail sheets.
