Stated Assumptions

Every assumption with cost-impact-if-wrong; fallbacks called out by name.

Where I had to assume rather than measure, I wrote it down with the cost impact if wrong. Cable lengths and field counts are typically the highest-risk rows — those got the most scrutiny.

Project: Kingsford Hotel Bacolod — BMS Status: living document — updated through phases.

IDAssumptionRationaleImpact if wrongSource / phase
A-001Project is greenfield (new construction) despite cover-letter wording "Rehabilitation".Technical inputs are Construction Bulletins against a "For Construction" set, no existing-system inventory, kitchen-layout adjustments. Phase 2 triangulation.High. Rehab classification would add demolition takeoff, after-hours premiums, cable-reuse evaluation (~₱2–4M cost addition).Phase 2 / Q-001
A-002Guestroom-floor footprint = ~60 m × 50 m typical floorplate; ~25–35 guestrooms per typical guest floor; ~10 guest floors above L3, plus roofdeck.EE-24 Part 1 only shows Basement↔3F; MC Standards references "Roof Deck Level (Guest Room Levels)"; project-scale tier (Medium) and Bacolod hotel comparables.Medium. ±20% on guestroom-floor field-device count and corridor cable runs.Phase 3 / Q-005
A-003Equipment counts per system class follow MC Standards typical density × project zoning on BMS-01/02 (e.g., 1× DOAS per floor band, 1× PAHU per landlord-zone, 1× AHU per public area).Mechanical layouts not in inputs; standard developer practice.Medium. ±15% on A2 takeoff.Phase 3 / Q-006
A-004Full EE drawing set is consistent with CB#8 (no contradictions on non-bulletin sheets).Only revised sheets supplied; latest-issued plan governs.Low. Revisions affect kitchen power, not BMS bus.Phase 3 / Q-007
A-005Upper-floor riser geometry mirrors typical hotel pattern — single trunk shaft, 1× cable tray per floor for BMS bus + power, ~3.5 m floor-to-floor.EE-24 Part 2 missing; standard high-rise hotel construction.Medium. ±15% on inter-floor riser cable lengths.Phase 3 / Q-008
A-006BMS-01/02/03 is the complete project-specific BMS sheet set. Hot-water-distribution and in-guestroom BMS scope is not included unless added by addendum.Only 3 sheets in inputs; no BMS-04 referenced.Medium. Could re-scope hot-water and guest-floor BMS.Phase 3 / Q-002
A-007BMS-panel power feed = 1× 20 A, 230 V, 1-phase circuit per BMS panel, supplied and terminated by EE Contractor at a knife-disconnect; BMS Contractor terminates downstream.No BMS feeder named on EE-21/22/23; standard practice.Low. Power-provision section only.Phase 3 / Q-009
A-008Customer GUI / graphics standard per BMS general spec on BMS-01 (per-floor graphics, per-system graphics, summary dashboards, alarm console, trend logs).No separate GUI standard in inputs; spec already covers GUI requirements.Low. Refines B2 graphics list.Phase 3
A-009FAT/SAT protocol per industry standard form (Megaworld-equivalent template), with point-by-point sign-off, PDF as-built, owner manual binders.No protocol in inputs.Low. Scope already inclusive.Phase 3
A-010Training = 2-day operator-level + 1-day admin/super-user, on-site at handover; 6 trainees × 1 batch.Not stated; standard inclusion.Low. Optional row in BOQ.Phase 3 / Q-016
A-011M&O after handover = priced as a 1-year preventive maintenance option (4× scheduled visits, 1× annual deep service, 24/7 phone support).Not stated; offered standalone.Low. Optional.Phase 3 / Q-017
A-012Drawing scale calibration = column grid bay ≈ 7.5 m on EE-03/06/09/12 (mid-range of 6–9 m structural-grid hotel/casino bays).No explicit scale bar; structural grid recoverable from layouts.Low–Medium. ±10% on measured cable lengths.Phase 3 / measure-cable-routes
A-013Head-end / server location in a central control room on Basement 1 or GF (TBD in coordination); BMS LAN as a standalone backbone with single uplink for off-network reporting.No room marked; standard hotel BMS pattern.Low. Affects A5/A6 narrative only.Phase 3 / Q-011
A-014Project schedule = 8 months end-to-end (engineering 8 wk, supply lead 12 wk paralleling, install 16 wk, T&C 8 wk, training/handover 2 wk).No customer schedule stated.Medium. Drives D1/D2/B4 productivity.Phase 3 / Q-013
A-015Commercial terms = 12-month warranty after substantial completion; 30/30/30/10 progress payment; 10% retention released at handover; 12% VAT-inclusive; LD 0.1%/day to cap 10%; no escalation.Industry-standard defaults; not stated.Variable — affects pricing/cashflow.Phase 3 / Q-014
A-016Casino BMS scope (BMS-02 tabulation) is included in BMS Contractor scope (Casino is part of the Kingsford property, not a separate fit-out).Single proposal request; Casino I/O on the same project-specific points list.Medium. Could split if Casino is a separate operator.Phase 3 / Q-003
A-017Fire alarm / security / IT integration is excluded from BMS scope — BMS-only HLI to power-meter consumption (per points list), no FDAS/CCTV/access tie-in unless requested.Not in points list; standard BMS-Contractor scope.Low. Listed as exclusion.Phase 3
A-018Power monitoring scope = HLI to existing EE meters / sub-meters where Modbus-equipped; no additional power-meter supply by BMS Contractor.Standard split per MC Standards C/O (Equipment Supplier provides meters; BMS reads HLI).Low. Scope clarity only.Phase 3
A-019Containment (cable tray + conduit) supplied and installed by BMS Contractor for BMS-cabling backbone; trunk-tray sharing with other low-voltage allowed where approved.BMS Contractor scope per "Complete Supply, Delivery, Installation"; consistent with module cabling-and-containment.md.Medium. ±10% on installation labour.Phase 3
A-020Rate library = _playbook/checklists/standard-pricing-defaults.yaml PHP rates with typical 15% spare for cabling and 10% spare for I/O.Standard rate library; no project-specific quotes received.Variable — to be refined post-RFQ.Phase 6

(Additional A-NNN added through Phase 5–10.)
