Build the masonry lintel takeoff reconciliation record
Use plans, elevations, opening schedules, structural details, and wall types to build the opening population. Record clear width and documented bearing at both ends.
Do not infer one lintel type from opening width alone when wall depth or loading changes. Use the masonry opening takeoff check as a related control, but keep this takeoff tied to its own drawing population and cost lines.
Check quantities and scope conditions
Separate reinforced masonry lintels, bond beams, precast units, and loose steel lintels. Extend masonry units, grout, reinforcing, shoring, and special finishes from the applicable detail. Assign steel fabrication and setting where the scope documents place them.
AACE recommended practices provide general estimating references. The project documents and approved estimate basis control the actual quantity and scope decisions.

Reconcile the estimate before release
Match the lintel list back to the opening takeoff and wall quantities. Review jamb reinforcement, control joints, flashing, sealant, and temporary support as interfaces, then retain unresolved assignments with the bid scope record. Close open assignments through the construction scope gap matrix and preserve the decision with the estimate revision.
