Build the curtain wall anchor takeoff review record

Start with elevations, plans, slab edge drawings, structural details, and the curtain wall basis. Count anchor conditions by grid and level, then flag geometry that does not match a typical bay.

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

Check quantity and responsibility

Record inserts, embeds, plates, fasteners, reinforcing, welding, coatings, surveys, and testing when the documents place them in scope. Separate cast-in work from post-installed work.

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

Reconcile the estimate before release

Reconcile anchors with embeds, slab edges, fire safing, interior closures, and erection access. Preserve delegated engineering and final layout as named responsibilities. Close open assignments through the concrete embed review and retain the decision with the estimate revision.
