The lighting drawings for

450-460 James Robertson Parkway Phase II
|

(fka James Roberston Pkwy Mixed Use Development)
|
||
show occupancy sensors serving electrical rooms.
|

I knew this was understood to be prohibited,
|

but could not have provided a code reference.

|
||
|
||
#### Context
|
||
|
||
#### Analysis
|
||
|
||
It may be counterintuitive to BOM-oriented estimators
|
||
(typical of those with an electrical background),
|
||
but deviating from ~~common practice~~
|
||
to make an assembly "more accurate"
|
||
(read: to make the estimate BOM
|
||
more closely resemble the construction BOM),
|
||
may make the budget _less_ accurate.
|
||
|
||
The review and adjustment process is based on ~~common practice~~,
|
||
|
||
Our assemblies do not include screws
|
||
It would be more accurate to the BOM to add them,
|
||
but we budget for that cost in the summary,
|
||
so to do so would be double dipping.
|
||
|
||
Though not stated as such,
|
||
we budget for takeoff-to-install deviations the same way.
|
||
|
||
\
|
||
|
||
An organization's takeoff database
|
||
ought to include exactly what is necessary for takeoff
|
||
at the acceptable level of detail, and nothing else.
|
||
It ought to be assumed by estimators that the previous is true,
|
||
and that acceptable takeoff of any scope
|
||
must be possible with the contents of the database.
