Build the loading dock equipment scope review record

Build a bay schedule from architectural plans, elevations, structural details, equipment schedules, electrical drawings, and specifications. Record dock number, equipment type, rated basis, pit geometry, door relationship, and control location. Keep standard and accessible bays separate.

Use the concrete embed takeoff review as a related control. Keep this review tied to its own source population and cost lines.

Check quantities and scope boundaries

List levelers, vehicle restraints, bumpers, seals or shelters, lights, controls, communication devices, guards, and documented accessories. Record embeds, angles, conduits, power, drainage, concrete forming, and finish repair as separate interfaces.

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

Confirm furnishing, installation, field measurement, startup, and training responsibility before leveling supplier quotes. Record unresolved assignments in the estimate vendor quote validity check and preserve the approved disposition with the estimate revision.
