# 02 — Classification

**Project:** Kingsford Hotel Bacolod — BMS
**Date:** 2026-04-27 (updated 2026-04-27 after stage re-evaluation)

---

## Discipline

- **Primary:** **BMS** (Building Management System)
- **Secondary:** EE-monitoring (power metering integration), FDAS-integration (likely per BMS general spec; confirm in Phase 4)

---

## Stage

- **Greenfield (new construction)**

### Stage triangulation (per `_playbook/phases/02-classify.md` rule)

| Signal | Source | Reading |
|--------|--------|---------|
| Cover letter wording | `Requirement.rtf` | Says *"Rehabilitation of Building Management System"* — **suggests rehab** |
| Technical document status | `BMS Points list (TUEC).pdf` BMS-01 title block | **Construction Bulletin — DATE: October 2025** — strong greenfield signal |
| Technical document status | `EE Plan (TUEC).pdf` cover letter | **Construction Bulletin No.8**, dated November 5, 2025 — strong greenfield signal |
| Reason for revisions | EE Plan cover letter | *"electrical revisions due to the **adjusted mechanical layout** and the **added power provisions for the kitchen layouts** from Basement to 3rd floor"* — these are construction-phase design adjustments, not retrofit indicators |
| Existing-system documentation | (absent) | No as-built drawings, no existing BMS inventory, no condition assessment, no demolition scope — **consistent with greenfield** |
| Drawing status | EE Plan p5 (sheet EE-12) | *"For construction"* drawings issued by Design Alliance (architect) — strong greenfield signal |
| Operational context | EE Plan annotation p2 | "*PPCAS-14 inside the casino lobby*" — pre-occupancy design coordination, not active-hotel retrofit |

**Resolution:** Technical-document evidence is overwhelmingly greenfield (multiple Construction Bulletins, layout-adjustment revisions, no existing-system docs). Cover letter wording is misleading. Classify as **Greenfield**; ask customer to confirm wording (Q-018).

(Per playbook rule: technical-document evidence beats cover-letter wording when they conflict.)

### Stage-specific implications loaded

- **No** existing BMS inventory required.
- **No** demolition / removal scope.
- **No** hot cutover / operational-building phasing — building is under construction, normal day-shift work assumed.
- **No** night-work labor premium for guestroom floors.
- **No** existing cable reuse decisions — all new installation.
- Standard new-construction site coordination applies (other trades on site, sequencing, MEP coordination, owner T&C window).

## Scope type

- [x] **Supply** — explicit
- [x] **Delivery** — explicit
- [x] **Installation** — explicit
- [x] **Testing** — explicit
- [x] **Commissioning** — explicit
- [x] Programming / Engineering — implicit (working BMS requires programming; explicitly listed in BMS general spec)
- [ ] Training — not stated; assume included as a standard line item with hotel-staff scope (A-013); flag for confirmation
- [ ] Maintenance / O&M — not stated; assume excluded from base; quote as optional 1-yr preventive maintenance (A-014); flag

---

## Facility type

- **Hotel / Hospitality** — Kingsford Hotel, Megaworld's Manhattan / Upper East Bacolod development
- Mixed-use signals: casino lobby (EE Plan p2 annotation), amenity floor (3rd), F&B + kitchen power provisions explicitly added in Bulletin No.8
- Megaworld treats this under their CONDOTELS BMS standard (`MC Standards - ME/PL Points list.pdf`) — implying possibly serviced/residential units mixed with hotel rooms

---

## Estimated tier

- **Medium-to-Large**
- Basis (rough, from points list extraction):
  - Hotwater system: ~48 I/O points (calorifiers ×6, heat pumps ×6, recirculating pumps ×6 + tank temp + headers)
  - General ventilation: ~165+ I/O points (~49 exhaust fans across GF/2nd/3rd at ~3 status points each)
  - Chilled water + condenser water + AHUs: estimated 100–250 I/O points
  - Boiler/laundry: ~20 I/O points
  - Basement-podium BOH air handling: ~50–100 I/O points
  - Guestroom-floor systems (above 3rd floor): unknown — to be exhaustively parsed in Phase 4
  - **Coarse estimate: 800–1500 monitoring & control points**. To refine in Phase 4.
- Building scope: Basement → Lower Ground → Ground → 2nd → 3rd (Amenity) → guestroom levels → Roof Deck

## Implications for later phases

- **Required-doc checklist key:** `bms-greenfield` (see `_playbook/checklists/required-docs-by-project-type.md`)
- **Module catalog:** `_playbook/modules/bms/` (to be built in Phase 5)
- **Stage-specific assumption set:** new-construction defaults — all new installation, sequencing with other MEP trades, owner-supplied vs. contractor-supplied device split per points-list "C/O" column
- **Special considerations:**
  - Multi-discipline integration: BMS + power metering + likely FDAS integration; confirm scope boundary in Phase 8
  - Megaworld's MC Standards apply as contractual baseline; project-specific (TUEC, by R.J. Calpo & Co.) governs where they conflict
  - Construction Bulletin No.8 implies bulletins 1–7 exist — need to confirm we have the latest "for construction" set, not a stale baseline (Q-004)
  - Kitchen power provisions added late (Bulletin No.8) — implies BMS scope for kitchen exhaust / make-up air may also have changed (verify in Phase 4)
