A Philadelphia takeoff with repair quantities kept distinct
For a Philadelphia scope containing reviewed exterior work, give F&K the defined repair or replacement detail and the elevations identifying its extent. Ask for quantities by treatment instead of one combined façade area. Retain a separate entry for any alternative whose material or extent is still undecided. This quantity-only service lets your contractor apply supplier and crew rates to a traceable package. Include the desired units and workbook headings, together with any interior or building-system trades that belong in the same takeoff order.
Quantities your team can apply rates to
Agree the units, drawing issue and output layout before measurement. Keep net quantities, ordering allowances and unresolved details distinguishable; supplier prices and installed costs are a separate request if your team needs pricing added.
To define your quote: Which trades and units do you need, and should the workbook include rates or measured quantities only?
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 quantity takeoff request: Include applicable approval comments, exterior details and the selected material basis. Identify proposed substitutions that still require a decision.
