Build the access control door interface review record

Build the opening list from door schedules, hardware sets, security plans, risers, details, and control narratives. Record the door number, lock function, reader, request-to-exit device, contact, power transfer, and controller reference shown. Treat unmatched security and hardware tags as open items.

Use the door frame hardware estimate review as a related control. Keep this review tied to its own source population and cost lines.

Check quantities and scope boundaries

Separate door hardware, low-voltage devices, power supplies, raceway, cabling, programming, and head-end capacity. Note interfaces with automatic operators, elevators, intercoms, and fire alarm only when the documents call for them.

AACE recommended practices provide general estimating references. The controlled project documents and approved estimate basis govern this review.

Reconcile the package before release

Reconcile the device list with every controlled opening and hardware set. Confirm who supplies each component, runs pathway and cable, makes final connections, programs sequences, and participates in testing before carrying the scope into a quote comparison. Record unresolved assignments in the mep scope interface matrix and preserve the approved disposition with the estimate revision.

Frequently asked questions

What starts an access control door interface review?

Start with the controlling plans, schedules, details, and specifications. Define the complete item population before extending cost.

How should an unclear condition be estimated?

Record the current assumption, estimate treatment, responsible reviewer, and the source needed for resolution. Keep the question visible through review.

What should remain with the estimate?

Keep the quantity record, source references, scope assignments, estimate revision, and approved disposition together.
