1ArchitecturalConcrete masonry unit parapet upstand above eave, 8 in, from 14'-0 to 15'-6
Masonry
360SFG-001 project data (parapet height 15'-6); A-201 elevations; A-301LOW
BASIS TO CONFIRM: the elevations and the building section show the wall continuing above the 14'-0 eave to a 15'-6 parapet, and no sheet says what that upstand is built of - there is no parapet detail, no cap flashing detail and no note. It is carried as the same 8 in fully grouted CMU, 240'-0 long x 1'-6 high, painted on the outer face under keynote 2. No opening touches this line because every scheduled door and window head is at or below 10'-0, well under the 14'-0 eave. Confirm the parapet construction, whether it is insulated, and whether the inner face is finished. Basis of Measurement rule W5: nothing is deducted for a stiffener column, a bond beam or a lintel inside the wall, because the set draws and schedules none - there is no lintel schedule on any sheet, architectural or structural, and no opening head detail. Basis to confirm (RFI-001): no sheet states what the parapet above the 14'-0 eave is built of; it is carried as the same 8 in fully grouted CMU wall that the elevations show continuing above the brick band, with no brick and no cavity insulation above the eave, from another part of this drawing set.
2ArchitecturalFace brick veneer, 3-5/8 in, running bond, to 3'-4 above finished floor
Masonry
726.67SFA-401 wall type W1; A-201 elevation keynote 1HIGH
The storefront pair and the sectional overhead door start at floor level, so each runs through the whole 3'-4 brick band and is deducted at its full width x the band height. No window is deducted: the south elevation draws the windows clear above the band and the W1 sill scales at about 4'-2 above finished floor, above the 3'-4 band. No window sill height is dimensioned anywhere in the set. Basis of Measurement rule W5: nothing is deducted for a stiffener column, a bond beam or a lintel inside the wall, because the set draws and schedules none - there is no lintel schedule on any sheet, architectural or structural, and no opening head detail. Quantity Model check: On Maple-Street-Hall-Plans.pdf p5, the schedule lists 2 D1 'Aluminum storefront door, pair, 6'-0 x 7'-0, insulated glazing' and the plan draws 1; 'Face brick veneer, 3-5/8 in, running bond, to 3'-4 above finished floor' deducts 2, 'Metal furring to interior face of exterior wall, lobby, kitchen and toilets' deducts 2, 'Gypsum board lining, 5/8 in, to furred exterior wall, lobby, kitchen and toilets' deducts 2, 'Paint to exterior concrete masonry above brick band, two coats over primer' deducts 2, '8 in concrete masonry bearing wall, ASTM C90 normal weight, f'm 2,000 psi' deducts 2 - please confirm where the other one is drawn (an elevation, a sheet not in this set) or whether the schedule count is right; the schedule count is carried - value used 2.
3ArchitecturalRigid board insulation R-13 in exterior wall cavity, continuous
Thermal and Moisture Protection
2,786SFA-401 wall type W1; A-301 section notesLOW
BASIS TO CONFIRM: carried over the full exterior wall area to the eave, net of openings over 10.8 SF. If the insulated cavity exists only behind the 3'-4 brick band, as one reading of the A-301 note allows, this line falls to about 731.9 SF. Nothing above the eave is insulated because the parapet build-up is not stated. Basis to confirm (RFI-002): A-401 calls the R-13 rigid insulation continuous but draws no wall section, so the set does not say whether it stops at the top of the 3'-4 brick band or runs the full wall height; it is carried over the full wall to the eave, the only reading under which the wall has a continuous thermal layer, from our stated measurement convention.
4ArchitecturalStainless steel brick veneer ties
Masonry
408.75eaA-401 wall type W1LOW
BASIS TO CONFIRM: the horizontal tie spacing is not printed anywhere in the set. Taken at 16 in o.c. horizontally to match the printed 16 in o.c. vertical spacing. The quantity is the brick veneer area divided by that grid. Basis to confirm (RFI-003): A-401 prints the 16 in o.c. vertical tie spacing but no horizontal spacing; 16 in o.c. horizontally is used, giving one tie per 16 in x 16 in of veneer, from our stated measurement convention.
5ArchitecturalMasonry control joint, full height of wall including parapet, sealed both faces
Masonry
217LFG-002 general note 7LOW
BASIS TO CONFIRM: no control joint is located on any sheet. The count follows the printed rule - 24'-0 maximum spacing around the 240'-0 perimeter, plus one at each corner - and each joint is measured the full 15'-6 height of the wall and parapet. Basis to confirm (RFI-004): G-002 note 7 sets the maximum spacing and requires a joint at every corner, but no control joint is drawn or located on any plan or elevation; the count is the minimum that satisfies the printed note, from a published standard.
6ArchitecturalTPO single ply roof membrane, 60 mil, mechanically fastened
Thermal and Moisture Protection
3,200SFA-401 roof assembly R1; A-301 section notesHIGH
Basis of Measurement rule RF1/RF2: the set gives no roof slope, so the area is the projected roof plan over the printed footprint and is reported as projected, with no slope factor. No parapet upstand, base flashing or termination detail is drawn, so nothing is added for the turn-up at the 1'-6 parapet.
7ArchitecturalPolyisocyanurate roof insulation R-30, two layers staggered
Thermal and Moisture Protection
3,200SFA-401 roof assembly R1; A-301 section notesHIGH
Basis of Measurement rule RF1/RF2: the set gives no roof slope, so the area is the projected roof plan over the printed footprint and is reported as projected, with no slope factor. No parapet upstand, base flashing or termination detail is drawn, so nothing is added for the turn-up at the 1'-6 parapet.
8ArchitecturalVapor retarder under roof insulation
Thermal and Moisture Protection
3,200SFA-401 roof assembly R1; A-301 section notesMED
Basis of Measurement rule RF1/RF2: the set gives no roof slope, so the area is the projected roof plan over the printed footprint and is reported as projected, with no slope factor. No parapet upstand, base flashing or termination detail is drawn, so nothing is added for the turn-up at the 1'-6 parapet.
9ArchitecturalPrefinished metal coping to parapet
Thermal and Moisture Protection
240LFA-201 elevation keynote 3MED
Measured on the 240'-0 parapet perimeter. The coping width is not drawn or dimensioned - there is no parapet detail in the set - so this line is a length only; confirm the girth before pricing.

21ArchitecturalSealed concrete floor finish, two coats penetrating sealer
Finishes
2,130.75SFA-602 room finish schedule; finish note 4HIGH
Basis of Measurement rule F1: measured net between finished wall faces. The AREA SF column of the A-602 room finish schedule sums to 3,200 SF, exactly the printed 80'-0 x 40'-0 footprint, so the printed room areas are gross of wall thickness and are about 10% larger than the floor a finish is laid on. Each room here is the printed room size less the 13-5/8 in exterior wall assembly and half of each 4-7/8 in partition it abuts, both thicknesses printed on A-401.

Basis of Measurement rule F1: measured net between finished wall faces. The AREA SF column of the A-602 room finish schedule sums to 3,200 SF, exactly the printed 80'-0 x 40'-0 footprint, so the printed room areas are gross of wall thickness and are about 10% larger than the floor a finish is laid on. Each room here is the printed room size less the 13-5/8 in exterior wall assembly and half of each 4-7/8 in partition it abuts, both thicknesses printed on A-401.

27ArchitecturalInterior partition framing, 3-5/8 in metal stud at 16 in o.c., full height to underside of roof structure
Finishes
1,715SFA-401 partition type P1; A-101 keynote 2MED
BASIS TO CONFIRM: measured on the partition center lines, 136'-0" all, at the full 14'-0 to the underside of the roof structure. A-401 says partitions run full height 'in rated walls' but no sheet identifies which walls are rated and no partition head height is dimensioned, so all are carried full height. The nine scheduled interior doors are deducted at their scheduled size. If the non-rated partitions in fact stop above the 9'-0 ceilings, this line falls by roughly a third. Basis to confirm (RFI-005): the set dimensions no partition head and A-401 identifies the walls that run to the underside of structure only as 'rated walls', without saying which walls are rated; every partition is therefore carried the full 14'-0 to the underside of the roof structure - value used 14.00 ft, from another part of this drawing set. Quantity Model check: On Maple-Street-Hall-Plans.pdf p5, the schedule lists 5 D3 'Solid core wood door, 3'-0 x 7'-0, in hollow metal frame' and the plan draws 2; 'Interior partition framing, 3-5/8 in metal stud at 16 in o.c., full height to underside of roof structure' deducts 5, 'Ceramic wall tile to 4'-0 high, toilets' deducts 4 - please confirm where the other 3 are drawn (an elevation, a sheet not in this set) or whether the schedule count is right; the schedule count is carried - value used 5.

28ArchitecturalGypsum board, 5/8 in type X, to interior partitions, both faces, taped ready to decorate
Finishes
3,430SFA-401 partition type P1MED
Basis of Measurement rule W3: board is measured per face, so every run and every door deduction is entered twice. Height and door deductions as for the partition framing line. Basis to confirm (RFI-005): the set dimensions no partition head and A-401 identifies the walls that run to the underside of structure only as 'rated walls', without saying which walls are rated; every partition is therefore carried the full 14'-0 to the underside of the roof structure - value used 14.00 ft, from another part of this drawing set.
29ArchitecturalSound attenuation batt insulation in toilet and kitchen partitions
Finishes
1,463SFA-401 partition type P1MED
A-401 puts sound batt in 'toilet and kitchen walls'. Measured on the partition runs that bound the kitchen, toilet 1 or toilet 2 - 112'-0 of the 136'-0 of partition - at the same full height as the partition itself, less the five doors that serve those rooms. Basis to confirm (RFI-005): the set dimensions no partition head and A-401 identifies the walls that run to the underside of structure only as 'rated walls', without saying which walls are rated; every partition is therefore carried the full 14'-0 to the underside of the roof structure - value used 14.00 ft, from another part of this drawing set.
30ArchitecturalPrepare and make good exposed concrete masonry interior wall face ready to decorate, main hall, store and plant
Finishes
2,288SFA-602 room finish schedule; A-401 wall type W1MED
These three rooms take the block face itself as the finish, so the measure is the interior face of the exterior wall in each, full height to the exposed roof structure. A-401 names only the hall and the store for painted CMU and puts 'furred GWB elsewhere'; the A-602 room finish schedule also gives the plant painted CMU, and the room schedule is followed room by room. Confirm which document governs the plant. Basis of Measurement rule W4: measured per face. This is the one face named; the opposite face of the same wall is measured on its own line. Basis of Measurement rule W5: nothing is deducted for a stiffener column, a bond beam or a lintel inside the wall, because the set draws and schedules none - there is no lintel schedule on any sheet, architectural or structural, and no opening head detail.
31ArchitecturalMetal furring to interior face of exterior wall, lobby, kitchen and toilets
Finishes
258SFA-401 wall type W1; A-602 room finish scheduleLOW
A-401 puts furred gypsum board on the inside of the exterior wall everywhere except the hall and the store; the room finish schedule adds the plant to the painted-CMU rooms. Measured to the 9'-0 ceiling in these four rooms. The furring depth is not stated anywhere in the set.

Finishes
258SFA-401 wall type W1; A-602 room finish scheduleLOW
Same measure as the furring it is fixed to. NOTE: the A-601 schedules place two storefront pairs and three W2 windows - 21'-0 of opening - in the lobby's 14'-0 of exterior wall, which cannot all fit; the deductions are therefore taken across the four rooms together, where they still leave a positive area. See the open questions before this line is priced.

524.58SFA-602 room finish scheduleMED
Measured on the net room perimeter to the 8'-0 the schedule gives. The wall between 8'-0 and the 9'-0 ceiling is carried on the gypsum board painting line: the schedule names no finish for it. Basis of Measurement rule W4: measured per face. This is the one face named; the opposite face of the same wall is measured on its own line. Basis of Measurement rule W5: nothing is deducted for a stiffener column, a bond beam or a lintel inside the wall, because the set draws and schedules none - there is no lintel schedule on any sheet, architectural or structural, and no opening head detail. Basis to confirm (RFI-006): neither elevation draws W2 and no window sill is dimensioned in the set; its sill is taken at the 4'-2 that scales off the W1 sill on the south elevation - value used 3'-10", from another part of this drawing set. Quantity Model check: On Maple-Street-Hall-Plans.pdf p5, the plan draws 41.98 SF of openings in 'Fiberglass reinforced panel wall lining to 8'-0, kitchen' (D2 x1, D3 x1) while 55.54 SF is deducted from it (D3 x1, W2 x3) - please confirm which openings sit in this wall - value used 55.50 SF, 42.00 SF.

40ArchitecturalPaint to outer face of parapet upstand, two coats over primer
Finishes
360SFA-201 elevation keynote 2LOW
BASIS TO CONFIRM: kept on its own line because it depends on the unstated parapet construction. Only the outer face is measured; no sheet says whether the roof side of the parapet is painted, and no opening touches this line. Basis to confirm (RFI-008): the elevations paint the CMU above the brick band and show the wall continuing to the parapet; nothing says whether the inner face of the parapet above roof level is finished, so only the outer face is carried, from another part of this drawing set.

Every gypsum board wall face in the building, less the two areas that are covered by another finish. Openings were already deducted on the board lines this borrows from, so none is deducted again here.

BASIS TO CONFIRM: measured on the plan area of the three rooms whose ceiling is 'exposed structure, painted'. The girth of the open web joists and the flutes of the 1-1/2 in type B deck are not drawn, so the painted surface is larger than the plan area by a factor the drawings do not allow us to fix.

Dig size is the 4 ft 0 in x 4 ft 0 in footing plus 1'-3 3/4" (1 ft 3.75 in) working space on every side, taken as bank measure with no bulking or compaction factor. BASIS TO CONFIRM: the foundation schedule gives the 1 ft 4 in footing thickness but the drawings print no bottom-of-footing level, finished grade or frost depth, so the excavation is carried to the scheduled thickness only. Every 1 ft of additional founding depth below grade adds about 24 CY to this line. Basis to confirm (RFI-009): the drawings give the 4 ft 0 in footing plan size only; 1'-3 3/4" working space is added on every side - value used 6'-7 1/2", from a published standard. Basis to confirm (RFI-010): no bottom-of-footing level or frost depth is printed, so the dig is taken to the scheduled 1 ft 4 in thickness - value used 1'-4", from our stated measurement convention.

Trench width is the 2 ft 6 in footing width plus 1'-3 3/4" (1 ft 3.75 in) working space shared over the two sides, run 240 LF around the building perimeter, bank measure. BASIS TO CONFIRM: as for the pad footings, no bottom-of-footing level or frost depth is printed, so the trench is carried to the scheduled 1 ft 6 in thickness only. Basis to confirm (RFI-011): trench width is the 2 ft 6 in footing width plus 1'-3 3/4" shared over the two sides - value used 3'-9 3/4", from a published standard. Basis to confirm (RFI-012): no bottom-of-footing level or frost depth is printed, so the dig is taken to the scheduled 1 ft 6 in thickness - value used 1.50 ft, from our stated measurement convention.

Section is the scheduled 2 ft 6 in wide x 1 ft 6 in deep strip footing. Length is measured on the centerline around the building, 2 runs of 80 ft 0 in and 2 runs of 40 ft 0 in = 240 LF, which matches the 240 LF the engineer's quantity basis prints. A scaled check of the same perimeter on the floor plan returned 241.7 LF, 0.7 percent from the printed figure. The bid form pays this item in LF.

Counted bar by bar from the foundation schedule: 5 no. #5 each way in each of 15 pads, plus 12 percent for laps, hooks and tying wire. BASIS TO CONFIRM: the set carries no bar bending schedule, so bar length is taken as the 4 ft 0 in footing side less 3 in cover to each face, the minimum cover for concrete cast against earth. At 68 lb per cubic foot this footing steel sits below the 154 to 243 lb per cubic foot normally seen in pad footings, which is what the scheduled 5 no. #5 each way gives; confirm the schedule is complete. Basis to confirm (RFI-013): the set has no bar bending schedule; bar length is the 4 ft 0 in footing side less 3 in cover each face for concrete cast against earth - value used 3.50 ft, from a published standard.

Counted bar by bar from the foundation schedule: 3 no. #5 continuous over the 240 LF of strip footing, plus 12 percent for laps, hooks and tying wire. BASIS TO CONFIRM: the schedule shows longitudinal bars only, with no transverse or distribution steel and no corner bars, which is why this line works out at 33 lb per cubic foot against the 70 to 110 normally seen; confirm whether transverse steel is intended.

SOURCE INSUFFICIENT: the slab is noted only as 5 in slab on grade, 4,000 psi. No bar size, spacing, welded wire reinforcement or fiber is called for anywhere on the issued sheets, and the engineer's quantity basis does not list slab steel either, so nothing is carried. For scale, welded wire reinforcement at 6 in x 6 in W1.4 over 3,200 SF would be roughly 670 LB, and #4 bars at 18 in each way roughly 3,000 LB - a spread too wide to price without an answer.

2,762SFA-101 floor plan keynote 1; A-301 building section; A-601 door and window schedulesMED
Gross area is the 240 LF perimeter run at the 14 ft 0 in wall height printed on the floor plan and on the engineer's quantity basis. Openings are deducted one by one, every opening of 5.4 SF (5.4 SF) and above. Every exterior opening is deducted at the count and size the A-601 door and window schedules print: D1 2 no., D4 1 no., W1 10 no., W2 6 no. (kitchen and lobby), W3 4 no. (toilets) - 598 SF in all, so 3,360 SF gross less 598 SF = 2,762 SF net. The floor plan A-101 draws the 10 W1 windows but no window in the kitchen or lobby walls; the schedule governs the count. BASIS TO CONFIRM: the plan also draws a 3 ft 0 in wide window in the east wall at the store that no schedule lists; if it is a seventh W2 this line falls by 15 SF. The 4 hollow metal and 5 wood doors serving the plant, store, corridor, toilets and kitchen sit in the 3-5/8 in metal stud partitions of keynote 2, not in this wall, so they are not deducted. BASIS TO CONFIRM: the floor plan draws one storefront opening in the south wall at the lobby while the door schedule lists 2 no. D1; if only one pair is external this line rises by 42 SF. No bond beam or stiffener column is shown, so none is deducted from the masonry area. Read from the drawings: story height 14 ft 0 in floor to underside of joists per A-301 section, no level datum printed - value used 14.00 ft, from another part of this drawing set. Basis to confirm (RFI-014): the schedule calls D4 the plant delivery door, which reads as an external opening, but the floor plan draws its swing inside the plant room and the exterior wall line is not broken there; confirm whether this 100 SF opening cuts the masonry - value used 10.00 ft; not given on the drawings - the designer should confirm it.

85StructuralGrout to reinforced masonry cells at 48 in on center, 2,000 psi
04 Masonry
6.09CYA-101 floor plan keynote 1; S-501 general notesLOW
Floor plan keynote 1 reads 8 in CMU bearing wall, fully grouted at 48 in o.c., taken as one grouted cell every 4 ft 0 in along the 240 LF perimeter, 60 cells full height. Grout strength is the 2,000 psi in the structural general notes. BASIS TO CONFIRM: the drawings do not give a block core size, so the core of a standard 8 x 8 x 16 two-core unit, 5-1/2 in x 5-1/8 in, is used; and if the keynote means the wall is solid grouted throughout rather than at 48 in centers, this line rises to roughly 38 CY. Basis to confirm (RFI-015): keynote 1 gives 48 in centers but does not number the cells; 240 LF divided by 4 ft 0 in gives 60 - value used 60, from our stated measurement convention. Basis to confirm (RFI-016): the drawings give no block core size; the core of a standard 8 x 8 x 16 two-core unit is used - value used 0'-5 1/2", from a published standard.
86StructuralVertical reinforcement to grouted masonry cells
04 Masonry
Not measured - price as a sub-quote: keynote 1 calls for the 8 in masonry to be grouted at 48 in o.c.LBA-101 floor plan keynote 1LOW
SOURCE INSUFFICIENT: keynote 1 calls for the 8 in masonry to be grouted at 48 in o.c. but no bar size is given for the grouted cells, and no wall section or reinforcing detail is issued. The run itself is measurable - 60 cells at 14 ft 0 in is 840 LF of vertical bar - so confirming the bar size alone closes this line: it would be about 620 LB in #4 or about 970 LB in #5. Horizontal joint reinforcement and bond beams are not shown anywhere and are not carried.
87StructuralOpen web steel joists 24K7, 40 ft 0 in span
05 Metals
7,458LBS-201 framing schedule and roof framing plan; S-501HIGH
15 joists counted one at a time on the roof framing plan, agreeing with the framing schedule and with the engineer's quantity basis. Length is the scheduled 40 ft 0 in span, plus 10 percent for connections, seats and bolts. BASIS TO CONFIRM: the drawings do not print a joist weight, so 11.3 lb per foot, the published weight of a 24K7 joist, is used. The plan note beside the joists reads 24K7 at 5 ft 0 in o.c. - 15 no. each bay; at 5 ft 0 in centers over the 80 ft 0 in length 15 no. is the count for the whole roof, not for each 20 ft bay, and the count on the plan confirms 15. Basis to confirm (RFI-017): the drawings do not print the joist weight; 11.3 lb per foot, the published weight of a 24K7 joist, is used - value used 11.30 lb/ft, from a published standard.
88StructuralStructural steel beams W12x26 over openings, ASTM A992
05 Metals
2,288LBS-201 framing schedule; S-501 general notesMED
4 no. W12x26 at the scheduled 20 ft 0 in span, plus 10 percent for connections, plates and bolts. Grade is the ASTM A992 for shapes in the structural general notes. Unit weight is the 26 lb per foot the W12x26 designation itself carries. BASIS TO CONFIRM: the framing schedule describes these as beams over openings but the roof framing plan does not mark their positions, so the count and span are taken from the schedule alone. Basis to confirm (RFI-018): unit weight is the 26 lb per foot carried by the W12x26 designation itself - value used 26.00 lb/ft, from a published standard.
89StructuralSteel angle lintels L4x4x1/4 over masonry openings, ASTM A36
05 Metals
774.4LBS-201 framing schedule; S-501 general notesMED
16 no. L4x4x1/4 at the scheduled 6 ft 8 in length, plus 10 percent for connections, plates and bolts. Grade is the ASTM A36 for plate and angle in the structural general notes. BASIS TO CONFIRM: the drawings do not print the angle weight, so 6.6 lb per foot, the published weight of an L4x4x1/4, is used; and the schedule's 16 no. does not match the 15 openings this take-off deducts from the masonry, so confirm which openings the 16 lintels serve. Basis to confirm (RFI-019): the drawings do not print the angle weight; 6.6 lb per foot, the published weight of an L4x4x1/4 angle, is used - value used 6.60 lb/ft, from a published standard.
90StructuralSteel roof deck, 1-1/2 in type B, 22 gauge
05 Metals
3,200SFS-201 framing schedule; S-501 quantity basis; A-301HIGH
Deck area is the 3,200 SF the framing schedule prints against mark DK, the same figure the engineer's quantity basis carries and the same as the 3,200 SF gross floor area, the roof being flat and without overhangs on the issued drawings. Side laps and end laps are not added to the neat area. The TPO membrane and the R-30 insulation above this deck belong to the architectural take-off.

Questions for your designer (29)

RFI No.TradeSheetQuestion
RFI-001ArchitecturalG-001, A-201, A-301No sheet states what the parapet above the 14'-0 eave is built of; it is carried as the same 8 in fully grouted CMU wall that the elevations show continuing above the brick band, with no brick and no cavity insulation above the eave. We used a stated value (on the line, worked out from that; from G-001, A-201, A-301). Please confirm that basis or give the correct one.
affects: Concrete masonry unit parapet upstand above eave, 8 in, from 14'-0 to 15'-6
RFI-002ArchitecturalA-401, A-301A-401 calls the R-13 rigid insulation continuous but draws no wall section, so the set does not say whether it stops at the top of the 3'-4 brick band or runs the full wall height ... (full basis on the affected line in the workbook) We used a stated value (on the line, worked out from that; our measuring convention - tell us if the documents set a different one). Please confirm that basis or give the correct one.
affects: Rigid board insulation R-13 in exterior wall cavity, continuous
RFI-003ArchitecturalA-401A-401 prints the 16 in o.c. vertical tie spacing but no horizontal spacing; 16 in o.c. horizontally is used, giving one tie per 16 in x 16 in of veneer. We used a stated value (on the line, worked out from that; our measuring convention - tell us if the documents set a different one). Please confirm that basis or give the correct one.
affects: Stainless steel brick veneer ties
RFI-004ArchitecturalG-002G-002 note 7 sets the maximum spacing and requires a joint at every corner, but no control joint is drawn or located on any plan or elevation; the count is the minimum that satisfies the printed note. We used a stated value (a published standard). Please confirm or give the correct value.
affects: Masonry control joint, full height of wall including parapet, sealed both faces
RFI-005ArchitecturalA-401, A-101The set dimensions no partition head and A-401 identifies the walls that run to the underside of structure only as 'rated walls', without saying which walls are rated; every partition is therefore carried the full 14'-0 to the underside of the roof structure. We used 14.00 ft (the height on the line, worked out from that; from A-401). Please confirm that basis or give the correct one.
affects: Interior partition framing, 3-5/8 in metal stud at 16 in o.c., full height to underside of roof structure; Gypsum board, 5/8 in type X, to interior partitions, both faces, taped ready to decorate; Sou
RFI-006ArchitecturalA-602Neither elevation draws W2 and no window sill is dimensioned in the set; its sill is taken at the 4'-2 that scales off the W1 sill on the south elevation. We used 3'-10" (the height on the line, worked out from that; from A-602). Please confirm that basis or give the correct one.
affects: Fiberglass reinforced panel wall lining to 8'-0, kitchen
RFI-007ArchitecturalA-602Basis of Measurement rule W1 opening threshold - W3 at 6.03 SF each is below the 10.8 SF at which an opening is deducted, so nothing comes off the tile band. We used 0 (our measuring convention - tell us if the documents set a different one). Please confirm or give the correct value.
affects: Ceramic wall tile to 4'-0 high, toilets
RFI-008ArchitecturalA-201The elevations paint the CMU above the brick band and show the wall continuing to the parapet; nothing says whether the inner face of the parapet above roof level is finished, so only the outer face is carried. We used a stated value (from A-201). Please confirm or give the correct value.
affects: Paint to outer face of parapet upstand, two coats over primer
RFI-009StructuralS-101The drawings give the 4 ft 0 in footing plan size only; 1'-3 3/4" working space is added on every side. We used 6'-7 1/2" (on the line, worked out from that; a published standard). Please confirm that basis or give the correct one.
affects: Machine excavation for spread footings F1, 4 ft 0 in x 4 ft 0 in x 1 ft 4 in deep
RFI-010StructuralS-101No bottom-of-footing level or frost depth is printed, so the dig is taken to the scheduled 1 ft 4 in thickness. We used 1'-4" (the depth on the line, worked out from that; our measuring convention - tell us if the documents set a different one). Please confirm that basis or give the correct one.
affects: Machine excavation for spread footings F1, 4 ft 0 in x 4 ft 0 in x 1 ft 4 in deep
RFI-011StructuralS-101Trench width is the 2 ft 6 in footing width plus 1'-3 3/4" shared over the two sides. We used 3'-9 3/4" (the width on the line, worked out from that; a published standard). Please confirm that basis or give the correct one.
affects: Machine trench excavation for strip footing SF1, 2 ft 6 in wide x 1 ft 6 in deep
RFI-012StructuralS-101No bottom-of-footing level or frost depth is printed, so the dig is taken to the scheduled 1 ft 6 in thickness. We used 1.50 ft (the depth on the line, worked out from that; our measuring convention - tell us if the documents set a different one). Please confirm that basis or give the correct one.
affects: Machine trench excavation for strip footing SF1, 2 ft 6 in wide x 1 ft 6 in deep
RFI-013StructuralS-101, S-501The set has no bar bending schedule; bar length is the 4 ft 0 in footing side less 3 in cover each face for concrete cast against earth. We used 3.50 ft (on the line, worked out from that; a published standard). Please confirm that basis or give the correct one.
affects: Reinforcement to spread footings F1, #5 bars, ASTM A615 grade 60
RFI-014StructuralA-101, A-301, A-601The schedule calls D4 the plant delivery door, which reads as an external opening, but the floor plan draws its swing inside the plant room and the exterior wall line is not broken there; confirm whether this 100 SF opening cuts the masonry. We used 10.00 ft (the height on the line; not given on the drawings - the designer should confirm it). Please confirm or give the correct value.
affects: 8 in concrete masonry bearing wall, ASTM C90 normal weight, f'm 2,000 psi
RFI-015StructuralA-101, S-501Keynote 1 gives 48 in centers but does not number the cells; 240 LF divided by 4 ft 0 in gives 60. We used 60 (on the line, worked out from that; our measuring convention - tell us if the documents set a different one). Please confirm that basis or give the correct one.
affects: Grout to reinforced masonry cells at 48 in on center, 2,000 psi
RFI-016StructuralA-101, S-501The drawings give no block core size; the core of a standard 8 x 8 x 16 two-core unit is used. We used 0'-5 1/8", 0'-5 1/2" (a published standard). Please confirm or give the correct value.
affects: Grout to reinforced masonry cells at 48 in on center, 2,000 psi
RFI-017StructuralS-201, S-501The drawings do not print the joist weight; 11.3 lb per foot, the published weight of a 24K7 joist, is used. We used 11.30 lb/ft (a published standard). Please confirm or give the correct value.
affects: Open web steel joists 24K7, 40 ft 0 in span
RFI-018StructuralS-201, S-501Unit weight is the 26 lb per foot carried by the W12x26 designation itself. We used 26.00 lb/ft (a published standard). Please confirm or give the correct value.
affects: Structural steel beams W12x26 over openings, ASTM A992
RFI-019StructuralS-201, S-501The drawings do not print the angle weight; 6.6 lb per foot, the published weight of an L4x4x1/4 angle, is used. We used 6.60 lb/ft (a published standard). Please confirm or give the correct value.
affects: Steel angle lintels L4x4x1/4 over masonry openings, ASTM A36
RFI-020ArchitecturalA-401, A-602Metal furring to interior face of exterior wall, lobby, kitchen and toilets — the basis we used: A-401 puts furred gypsum board on the inside of the exterior wall everywhere except the hall and the store; the room finish schedule adds the plant to the painted-CMU rooms. Measured to the 9'-0 ceiling in these four rooms. The furring depth is not stated anywhere in… Can you confirm this, or advise the correct basis?
affects: Metal furring to interior face of exterior wall, lobby, kitchen and toilets
RFI-021ArchitecturalA-602Ceramic wall tile, full height behind sanitary fixtures, toilets — this could not be measured from the drawings supplied and is therefore NOT included in the quantities. Is it in scope, and if so can you provide the drawing or schedule that sets it out?
affects: Ceramic wall tile, full height behind sanitary fixtures, toilets
RFI-022ArchitecturalA-102, A-602Paint to exposed roof deck soffit, joists and structure, two coats over primer — the basis we used: measured on the plan area of the three rooms whose ceiling is 'exposed structure, painted'. The girth of the open web joists and the flutes of the 1-1/2 in type B deck are not drawn, so the painted surface is larger than the plan area by a factor the drawings do not… Can you confirm this, or advise the correct basis?
affects: Paint to exposed roof deck soffit, joists and structure, two coats over primer
