Below-grade foundation membrane installation
WHERE WATERPROOFING BIDS FAIL
Specification conflicts and uncounted transitions swallow contractor margins before breaking ground.
Details vs Specs
Wall sections call one membrane, specs call another. Swings cost up to 40%.
Uncounted Transitions
Reglets, terminations, and drainage boards frequently go uncounted.
Coverage Assumptions
Laps and waste percentages handled by gut feel instead of manufacturer TDS.
Lack of Audit Trail
No color-coded plan backup when GCs question price changes on bid day.
WHAT WE QUANTIFY
Assembly-level takeoffs formatted directly to bid, price, and buyout.
Below-Grade Systems
Foundation walls, mat slabs, and elevator pits by exposed area.
Air & Vapor Barriers
Wall area by substrate with transition membranes isolated.
Traffic Deck Coatings
Parking structures and plaza decks split by traffic wear course.
Joints & Terminations
Expansion joints, sealant LF, and backer rod counts by width.
Surface Remediation
Grinding, shot blasting, and crack routing isolated for labor.
Access & Phasing
Lift durations, staging logistics, and building area phasing.
BID 2X FASTER
Turnaround in 24–48 hours to chase more opportunities.
BID TIGHTER
Documented coverage math replaces arbitrary padding.
DEFEND SCOPE
Color-coded plan markups prove your numbers to GCs.
SCALE CAPACITY
Surge capacity for bid season without adding fixed overhead.
CLEAN BUYOUT
Quantities map directly into POs and subcontract exhibits.
STAY CONSISTENT
Standardized report formats on every project bid.
