Seattle SDCI distinguishes changing a building use from establishing a previously unrecorded use. Its guidance recommends researching the existing use and permit history. Seattle SDCI property and building use guidance.
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.

Separate Seattle masonry repairs from newly specified assemblies
For a Seattle alteration, clarify whether existing masonry is retained, selectively repaired or replaced under the issued design. Give F&K the elevations and repair descriptions defining that extent, together with new wall and opening details. A record of prior building use cannot establish concealed wall construction or the required repair method. Request separate quantities for the documented treatments and identify demolition, temporary support and reinstatement responsibilities. If the project is still choosing a replacement system, keep its allowance outside the measured repair base until the responsible team defines the option.
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?
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 masonry estimating request: Send existing and proposed plans, the stated use, relevant permit-history documents and the latest scope clarifications for the alteration.
