+## Hilltop Gardens Review and Closeout
+
+[[conest-senior-review]] and [[conest-manager-review]]
+for [[hilltop-gardens]]
+with [[josh-ford]] filling in for [[joel-jansen|Joel]].
+
+### Florida Considerations
+
+#### Building Codes
+
+8th Edition Florida codes (2023)
+are based on 2021 I-Codes.
+
+#### Site Poles
+
+Expect direct burial poles in Florida.
+
+Southeast and Florida exclude concrete in proposals,
+Florida usually considers site pole foundations excluded in this,
+Southeast does not.
+
+#### Construction Type and Wiring Method Selection
+
+South Florida gardens may be concrete for hurricane resistance
+but [[ibc-construction-types#Type III Combustible|type III construction]].
+Romex is allowed in this case.
+
+#### Automatically Controlled Receptacles
+
+Florida Building Code does not require automatically controlled receptacles
+* [ ] investigate
+
+#### Fire Alarm Inspections
+
+South Florida fire alarm inspections are conducted at night:
+20% of fire alarm budget for overtime.
+
+### 520Hz Smoke Detectors
+
+The 120V 520Hz smoke detectors qualified in the proposal
+are limited source (Home Depot).
+
+No change to takeoff necessary.
+Josh changed the name and pricing of the item in the extension.
+
+### Post-Tensioned Slab Considerations
+
+In a 6in post-tensioned slab
+other than fixture branch and floorboxes
+may not be feasible to run in deck,
+especially subfeeds.
+
+### Site Misc
+
+In the WBS,
+1 (Site) does not have EL or FA breakdowns.
+Site EV chargers, Fire Alarm Loop
+go in Site Misc.
+
+### Rigid Elbows for Secondaries
+
+PVC elbows in secondaries
+* [x] check if intentional
+    * Elbows were RMC, the takeoff name was not changed.
+
+### Panel Schedule Error
+
+EV charger breakers were erroneously shown as 20A on some panel schedules.
+(Should be 80A)
+
+### Fixture Branch Length
+
+Fixture branch length tighter for Gardens.
+Josh shortened some 20fts to 15ft.
+
+### Material Pricing
+
+Re-extend all before supplier link.
+
+### Josh's Review Strategy
+
+Check middle and end
+beginning is likely to be rough:
+asking questions
+refining
+
+Expecting significant [[pdi-bid-estimating|Bid]] to ConEst delta in slab work.
+
+branch length per opening
+openings per unit
+
+Unit sqft * 1.5
+
+800sqft unit = 1200ft cable per unit
+in whole job, not just unit.
+
+"True Garden" feeders about \$150 per unit.
+This is not a "true Garden".
+
+### Bid Sheet
+
+See Bid Sheet for actual values.
+
+[[corwin-fluit]] updates the Bid Sheet quarterly.
+The Bid Sheet was initially a temporary measure for COVID.
+
+Usually large delta in units if "Unit Tabulation" sheet is not utilized.
+
+### Breakdowns for Remote Horn/Strobes in Units
+
+Remote strobes in units were erroneously taken off in `System` = "EL - Electrical".
+The correct `System` is "FA - Fire Alarm".
+
+[[units-takeoff]] had the correct direction for this case at the time of takeoff,
+but I was not meaningfully consulting the note.
+
+### Labor Plan
+
+Count of bathroom exhaust fans per unit
+is usually one less than smokes
+
+Do not consider data outlets in above openings per unit.
+
+Labor Plan:
+"Amenity" is Interior Amenity.
+Put Exterior Amenity in "Other".
+
+Excavation is covered by site work increase labor factor.
+
+Calculators/Prefab calculator
+
+Firestopping: \$35 per unit
+Colorado: \$75 per unit
+
+Permits: Percent of Contract Value
+Palm Beach, Florida: 1.1%
+Miami, Florida: 1.0%
+Miami Beach, Florida: 1.9%
+
+Equipment: 0.75% to 1.00% of Selling Price
