Quote a defined Philadelphia masonry repair or replacement
Where Philadelphia exterior review applies to your property, send the accepted repair description and material details with the masonry plans. Repointing, selective unit replacement and complete wall reconstruction should not be priced as interchangeable work. F&K can organize the documented extent by elevation and repair type, keeping undecided replacements outside the firm measured base. Identify who supplies access, protection and temporary support information. Our proposal will define the estimating work; acceptance of a material or repair approach remains with the responsible project team and authority.
Masonry walls, openings and accessories
Use wall types and elevations to distinguish unit masonry, veneer and specialty finishes. Check the structural reinforcement and lintel details against openings before applying supplier prices; flashing and supports need an explicit package owner.
To define your quote: Are masonry supports, reinforcement, scaffolding and cavity accessories included in the subcontract you want priced?
Repair, replacement and approval-dependent options
Keep the documented base repair separate from proposed replacements. An unresolved exterior selection belongs in an identified option or allowance until the project team supplies an accepted detail. A preservation reference does not establish that every item in the building needs replacement. For this Philadelphia, PA masonry estimating request: Include applicable approval comments, exterior details and the selected material basis. Identify proposed substitutions that still require a decision.
