DIVISION 07
Below-grade foundation membrane installation
OVERVIEW
WHERE WATERPROOFING BIDS FAIL
Specification conflicts and uncounted transitions swallow contractor margins before breaking ground.
01 SPEC CONFLICTS
Details vs Specs
Wall sections call one membrane, specs call another. Swings cost up to 40%.
02 MISSED FOOTAGE
Uncounted Transitions
Transition membranes, terminations, penetration flashing, and drainage boards.
03 GUESSED WASTE
Coverage Assumptions
Laps and waste percentages handled by gut feel instead of manufacturer Data sheets.
04 NO BACKUP
Lack of Audit Trail
No color-coded plan backup when GCs question price changes on bid day.
SCOPE OF WORK
WHAT WE QUANTIFY
