What this means for your estimate
For tenant alterations, price the designed occupancy and improvement scope rather than assuming the prior tenant layout is a complete baseline. Keep unresolved life-safety or system changes visible for design-team confirmation.

Price Seattle mechanical alterations without assuming a complete replacement
A proposed change in a Seattle building’s use does not by itself describe how much HVAC work is required. Send the mechanical designer’s defined scope, equipment schedules and available information on retained distribution. Ask F&K for quantities separated into removals, modifications and new installation, with any unverified existing conditions identified. Include vendor boundaries for controls and equipment, plus the specified balancing or commissioning scope assigned to your contractor. Those inputs let the estimating proposal support a real alteration bid while leaving capacity assessment and engineering decisions with the responsible professionals.
Mechanical equipment versus distribution scope
Separate equipment selections from duct, piping and accessory quantities. Identify vendor-furnished controls, insulation, supports and trade interfaces so an equipment quote is not treated as the complete installed mechanical system.
To define your quote: Should the estimate include controls, insulation, testing and balancing, and equipment-setting responsibilities?
Retained work versus new construction
Separate removals, retained items, protection and new installation before producing the bid total. Compare existing and proposed sheets so an item shown on both is not purchased twice. Where existing conditions are unknown, identify the information needed rather than pricing concealed conditions as verified quantities. For this Seattle, WA hvac estimating request: Send existing and proposed plans, the stated use, relevant permit-history documents and the latest scope clarifications for the alteration.
