Estimate: 3912 SF roof, 7 primary +7 separate overflow scuppers, 7 leaders; separate tapered insulation allowance and membrane upstands.
Needed: Provide approved roof assembly/uplift fastening, slopes, tapered takeoff, parapet heights, scupper sizes and site discharge design.
RFI-11 — Slab and area reconciliation

Estimate: 3797 SF slab plus24 SF stoop; 3122 finish SF;3912 roof.4000psi slab, both mesh and fiber held in base pending clarification.
Needed: Architect confirms area schedule and slab reinforcement; deduct unused reinforcement after resolution.
RFI-12 — Structural systems and fabrication
Evidence: A106/107 mixes CMU and18ga5.5-inch steel studs; no steel-truss shop layout or bar bending schedule.
Estimate: Hybrid budget:8-foot CMU base plus4-foot exterior stud band and3-foot parapet; 24-inch truss spacing equivalent. Quantities provisional.
