Project description
This project involved a detailed estimation for a proposed three-storey residential building located in East Boston, MA. The scope focused primarily on interior wall and ceiling systems, including drywall assemblies, fire-rated partitions, and structural support components. The estimation was developed based on architectural drawings and included accurate quantity takeoffs aligned with standard construction practices.
The project required careful evaluation of multiple wall types and floor assemblies across all levels, incorporating single-side and double-side gypsum board applications, fire-rated systems, and moisture-resistant materials. Special attention was given to resilient channel systems and strapping installations to enhance acoustic performance and structural integrity. Mechanical chases and service areas were also included, ensuring coordination across building systems.
Additionally, the estimate included general construction requirements such as permits, supervision, mobilization, and project overheads. The structured BOQ provides a complete cost-ready framework suitable for contractor bidding, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and compliance with residential building standards.
