Build the branch circuit homerun takeoff reconciliation record

Trace homeruns from power and lighting plans to panel schedules and risers. Record the served load, circuit identifier, source panel, routing basis, and drawing reference for each group.

Compare the record with the electrical feeder takeoff review. Keep this review tied to its own source documents and cost lines.

Check quantity and responsibility

Separate normal, emergency, standby, and controlled circuits. Measure raceway and conductors from a stated path, and preserve unclear grouping or shared-neutral conditions as questions.

AACE recommended practices offer general estimating references. Project documents and the approved estimate basis control the work.

Reconcile the estimate before release

Reconcile homeruns with device counts, panels, feeders, controls, ceilings, and rated penetrations. Confirm who carries supports, sleeves, firestopping, and final circuit identification. Close open assignments through the mep scope interface matrix and retain the decision with the estimate revision.

Frequently asked questions

What starts a branch circuit homerun takeoff reconciliation?

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

How should an unclear condition be priced?

Record the current assumption, estimate treatment, responsible reviewer, and source needed for resolution.

What should stay with the estimate?

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