## 303 Mariposa Residence Pre-takeoff Confirmation Email Review

Consultation with [[josh-ford|Josh]]
regarding [[conest-pre-takeoff-confirmation]]
for [[303-mariposa-residence]].

The project being a single family home,
primary estimator [[jared-defanti]] requested Josh's aid
with precise wording and takeoff assumptions.

### Questions

> [!quote] Proposal 2026-05-06
> _Telecom, Data & Cable TV _
> 
> 49\. Back boxes and stub ups "As required"

Josh confirmed we are to exclude backboxes and stub-ups from takeoff.

### Other Direction

#### Metal Boxes

Highlight 12 AWG minimum, metal boxes;
add note "please confirm".

#### PVC Conduit

Confirmed no PVC except secondaries.
Secondaries PVC40 with PVC80 elbow and stub-up.

#### Project Drawing/Detail Callouts

Delete section [[conest-pre-takeoff-email-template#Project Drawing/Detail Callouts]]
since empty.

#### Fire Alarm

Use `TERMINAL CABINET` not `HEAD END`.

Did not specifically discuss with Josh,
but assuming free-air assemblies for devices

#### Lighting Control

Confirmed 0-10V/Line voltage dimming per schedule.

Use "Low voltage" (rough-in only) assemblies

Note "rough-in only" in email.

> Josh pointed out dimming receptacles.

#### Low Voltage

Add new line:
"Shade Control: System is alternate, do we own rough-in?".

#### Other

Josh noted that [[conest#ConEst Senior Estimator|seniors]]
appreciate the new [[conest-pre-takeoff-confirmation]] process
because they feel more familiar with the job
when in [[conest-senior-review]].
