Build the waterproofing transition takeoff review record

Mark transitions on plans, elevations, sections, and details. Give each condition a location, adjoining materials, termination, and drawing reference instead of relying on one perimeter allowance.

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

Measure membranes, flashings, primers, protection, sealants, terminations, and substrate preparation only where the selected detail requires them. Keep product selection with the approved project basis.

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

Reconcile the estimate before release

Reconcile below grade, plaza, wall, roof, and opening interfaces with the packages on both sides. Record access and sequencing constraints with the measured condition. Close open assignments through the construction scope gap matrix and retain the decision with the estimate revision.

Frequently asked questions

What starts a waterproofing transition 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.
