Abstract
The project underwent a BOQ (Bill of Quantities) review, which involved a thorough examination of the architectural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and structural drawings. The review aimed to identify discrepancies and ensure that the quantities and specifications were accurate. The architectural drawings were reviewed by KCB, who identified several discrepancies, including missing metal flashings, incorrect signage specifications, and incomplete hardware sets. The reviewer also noted that the quantity of certain items, such as fire extinguishers and mirrors, was incorrect. The mechanical drawings were reviewed by RHM, who identified several discrepancies, including missing in-line fans, incorrect quantities of copper pipe and insulation, and incomplete specifications for exhaust grilles and hot water fin tube radiators. The reviewer also noted that the cost of certain items, such as louvers and finned tube radiation, appeared low. The plumbing drawings were reviewed by DCG, who identified several discrepancies, including incorrect quantities of lavatories, floor drains, and drinking fountains. The reviewer also noted that the unit price for trenching and backfilling appeared low. The electrical drawings were reviewed by JLB, who identified several discrepancies, including incorrect spec sections referenced and missing line items for communications racks, patch panels, and fiber optic cabling. The structural drawings were reviewed by FRS and SPD, who identified several discrepancies, including low values for wall footing concrete, block walls, excavation, backfill, and spoil quantities. The reviewers noted that these values appeared low and required verification. The BOQ review aimed to ensure that the quantities and specifications for the Visitor Guard House – Building 8 project were accurate and complete. The review identified several discrepancies, which will need to be addressed to ensure that the project is completed correctly and within budget.
