Effortless integration tailored for your unique needs.

We expected performance improvements, but the strategic implementation delivered unprecedented operational excellence of delivering products.

Introduction

Bid day is stressful enough without having to second-guess whether a subcontractor has covered their scope correctly. For many GCs, Division 10 is one of the most frequently overlooked areas—small line items, dozens of accessories, varying finishes, and coordination with multiple trades. But small mistakes can create disproportionate problems: last-minute clarifications, scope gaps, missed quantities, or disputes over what was or wasn’t included.

Accurate Division 10 takeoffs are not just a subcontractor responsibility—they’re a direct contributor to your ability to submit a competitive, risk-controlled bid.

Why Division 10 Is More Prone to Takeoff Errors

Division 10 covers a wide range of specialty items:

  • Toilet partitions
  • Restroom accessories
  • Fire extinguishers and cabinets
  • Lockers
  • Shelving
  • Signage
  • Wall protection

These items appear scattered across architectural, interior, and MEP sheets. Without a systematic approach, it’s easy for a sub to miss something or make assumptions.

The Impact of Incomplete Takeoffs on Your Bid

A single oversight can snowball:

  • Unaccounted accessories → last-minute add-ons
  • Incorrect finishes → cost discrepancies
  • Missed quantities → inaccurate labor
  • Wrong material types → substitution issues

Estimators want confidence—not surprises—when they carry a number.

How a Professional Division 10 Sub Reduces Your Risk

1. Line-by-Line Takeoff from Architectural & Interior Sheets

Every item is accounted for with full notation of model numbers and finishes.

2. Cross-Referencing Spec Sections with Room Finish Schedules

This ensures accurate matching between drawings and specifications.

3. Transparent Quantities and Itemized Pricing

You see everything clearly—no vague lump sums.

4. Clarifications Issued Early

Potential conflicts are raised before bid day, not after award.

Conclusion

The best Division 10 subcontractors don’t just submit a number—they help build a safer bid.
Accurate takeoffs = less risk = stronger GC-sub relationship.

Exact takeoffs—no scope gaps, no surprises on bid day.
