## Hampton Roads Navy - Norfolk: Director Review

[[estimating-director-review]] of [[hampton-roads-navy_norfolk]]
lead by [[corwin-fluit]],
attended by [[christian-pereiro]], [[joel-jansen]], and myself.

### Lighting Control

* Corridors: $10 per linear foot
* Amenity: $5 per square foot

> Digital lighting control is required
> * FALSE: Multiple occupancy sensors per zone necessitates digital control.
> * FALSE: 0-10V dimming necessitates digital control.
> * FALSE: 0-10V dimming + occupancy sensing necessitates digital control.
> * TRUE: 0-10V dimming controlled by occupancy sensing necessitates digital control.

Systems refused to quote lighting control due to lack of detail,
but sufficient detail was provided.

[[pdi-bid-estimating|Bid]] expected takeoff to include DLM devices and cabling.

### Closeout

On Base - Newport News is not

Carried labor for lost time due to badging

#### Equipment

> `AUGER ON BOBCAT (per pole)` does not include cost for setting pole

### Free Notes

Ops creates, approves the labor plan.
This limits our ability to make interesting decisions:
MC cable ILO PVC in-slab pushes the schedule out.

[[estimating-golf]] question, asked by Corwin:
"Are the electric rooms stacked?"

### Thoughts

#### Corwin

Corwin is a true _estimator_.
I've met few people more willing to make calculations
and give confident estimates in conversation.

He understands the necessity of accepting and accounting for risk.

He is as critical of overly-heavy estimates
as light estimates.
He specifically prefers accurate line item costs
with a single contingency
over inflated individual budgets.
