The Data: Estimating Tips

Division 11 - Equipment (MasterFormat™ 2004)

General

 

• The items in this division are usually priced per square foot or each. Many of these items are purchased by the owner for installation by the contractor. Check the specifications for responsibilities and include time for receiving, storage, installation, and mechanical

and electrical hook-ups in the appropriate divisions.

 

• Many items in Division 11 require some type of support system that is not usually furnished with the item. Examples of these systems include blocking for the attachment of casework and support angles for ceiling-hung projection screens. The required blocking or supports must be

added to the estimate in the appropriate division.

 

• Some items in Division 11 may require assembly or electrical hookups. Verify the amount of assembly required or the need for a hard electrical connection

and add the appropriate costs.
