# 2025-11-04 Belle Meade Director Review
|
||||
|
||||
## Takeoff Review
|
||||
|
||||
Reviewed takeoff by system.
|
||||
|
||||
### Retail Village Temporary Power
|
||||
|
||||
Joel changed square foot budgets to temporary pole budgets only
|
||||
due to minimal scope (warm shell).
|
||||
|
||||
### Generator Scope
|
||||
|
||||
Confirmed generator quotes include furnishing docking station.
|
||||
|
||||
### Feeder Lengths
|
||||
|
||||
Confirmed validity of longer feeder lengths:
|
||||
Generator to Tower B
|
||||
|
||||
### Grounding
|
||||
|
||||
Takeoff appears to be missing some or all grounding.
|
||||
To be added if necessary.
|
||||
|
||||
### Subfeed Sizing
|
||||
|
||||
Based on ampacity, subfeeds are oversized.
|
||||
Sizing was per feeder schedule.
|
||||
Takeoff approved unchanged.
|
||||
|
||||
### Undercabinet Wiremold
|
||||
|
||||
Multi-outlet assemblies above unit kitchen countertops were not taken off,
|
||||
nor was branch wiring for the same.
|
||||
Joel to confirm takeoff requirement with bid.
|
||||
|
||||
### Amenity Homeruns
|
||||
|
||||
No homeruns for amenity lighting or electrical were taken off.
|
||||
Joel to add these.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!info] Circuits per Raceway
|
||||
> Corwin stated that--assuming no overriding specification--
|
||||
> up to 6 circuits in a raceway are permissible.
|
||||
|
||||
### Lighting Control
|
||||
|
||||
Lighting control takeoff was reviewed,
|
||||
no changes were recommended.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!info] Lighting Control Pre-Work
|
||||
> Corwin stated that with the imminent changes to lighting control takeoff,
|
||||
> it will be necessary for estimators to more intently consider the design:
|
||||
> noting quantities of lighting zones and controllers,
|
||||
> even where not explicitly shown.
|
||||
|
||||
### Telecom
|
||||
|
||||
Confirmed unit telecom requirements.
|
||||
|
||||
Backbone was mistakenly taken off in Telecom.
|
||||
|
||||
### Retail Fire Alarm
|
||||
|
||||
Retail village fire alarm devices were taken off free-air,
|
||||
Joel to substitute for EMT.
|
||||
|
||||
## Extension Review
|
||||
|
||||
Reviewed extension quantities and costs.
|
||||
Of particular note were:
|
||||
|
||||
* conduit
|
||||
* wire
|
||||
* cable
|
||||
* wiring devices
|
||||
|
||||
## Labor Plan Review
|
||||
|
||||
Hours per square foot was lower than expected,
|
||||
this was rationalized as being due
|
||||
to the relatively high portion of garage and shell retail space.
|
||||
|
||||
%%
|
||||
"Openings per unit" was another metric considered--
|
||||
higher than expected in this case--
|
||||
however I didn't catch the significance of this.

||||

Based on this strawman it is clear Hubbard believes his detractors are _correct_

that is the namesake of the fallacy show that,

he believes they are failing to acknowledge that their preferred alternatives

are not demonstrably more effective at doing so.

The nuance Hubbard dismisses without addressing

is the possibility of model _improvement_.
|
||||
There is an obvious reason why a decision-maker
|

might prefer a human expert over a heuristic algorithm,

even if the algorithm is demonstrated
|
||||
to outperform the human in all relevant metrics:

_Adaptability_.
|

|
||||
It's likely that this preference is demonstrably unreasonable in many or most cases,
|
||||
but that it isn't acknowledged severely weakens Hubbard's argument.

A most competent detractor would be aware of the apparent contradiction
