Build the lighting control device takeoff review record

Build the device list from lighting plans, control diagrams, schedules, sequences, and specifications. Link sensors, switches, relays, panels, gateways, and interfaces to the zone they control.

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

Record device type, location, wiring basis, enclosure, programming, and documented accessories. Do not invent a sequence where the drawings leave the controls design incomplete.

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

Reconcile the estimate before release

Reconcile control devices with fixtures, branch circuits, emergency operation, daylight zones, HVAC interfaces, and system startup. Keep programming and functional testing assignments explicit. Close open assignments through the mep scope interface matrix and retain the decision with the estimate revision.

Frequently asked questions

What starts a lighting control device takeoff review?

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.
