Build the medical gas outlet takeoff review record

Build a room-by-room list from medical equipment plans, architectural elevations, plumbing drawings, risers, schedules, and specifications. Record outlet type, service, quantity, mounting condition, headwall or ceiling interface, and drawing source. Flag conflicts between room layouts and piping plans.

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

Check quantities and scope boundaries

Separate outlets, inlets, valves, zone boxes, alarms, manifolds, source equipment, piping, supports, identification, and accessories. Keep final product selection and system design with the authorized project team when the bid documents provide only a performance basis.

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

Reconcile the package before release

Reconcile outlet counts with branches, zone valves, alarm points, source capacity, backing, wall closures, and owner equipment. Assign testing, purging, certification, startup, and record documentation according to the project requirements. Record unresolved assignments in the mep scope interface matrix and preserve the approved disposition with the estimate revision.
