Maryland Project Conditions
Codes, public-work wages, stormwater and Chesapeake-area conditions can materially change the estimate
The applicable Maryland Building Performance Standards, local amendments, wage determination, stormwater approvals, flood information, project phasing and owner requirements should be identified during scope review.
Scope Considerations
Account for the requirements that affect materials, labour and sequencing
Spiron Engineering can incorporate these factors when they are included in the drawings, specifications or agreed estimating assumptions.
- Current Maryland Building Performance Standards
- County and municipal code amendments or permit requirements
- Maryland Accessibility Code and project-specific accessibility criteria
- Project wage determinations on covered state-funded public works
- Certified-payroll and contractor-registration requirements where applicable
- Stormwater-management and erosion-control scope
- Construction stormwater permit requirements for qualifying disturbance
- Floodplain, wetland, waterfront and coastal-zone requirements
- Chesapeake Bay Critical Area or buffer requirements identified by the design team
- Baltimore and DC-suburb access, staging, traffic and occupied-site constraints
- Port, rail, highway, marine and long-lead-equipment logistics
- Alternates, allowances, exclusions and addenda
