Virginia Project Conditions
Codes, wage rules, stormwater, coastal conditions and logistics can materially change the estimate
The applicable Virginia code provisions, wage framework, federal requirements, stormwater permit, coastal or flood information, project phasing and owner standards 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 Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code
- Virginia Construction Code and Existing Building Code requirements
- Local permit, zoning, site-plan and utility requirements
- Virginia prevailing-wage requirements on covered public works
- Local prevailing-wage ordinances where adopted and applicable
- Federal Davis-Bacon requirements for federally funded or assisted work
- Construction stormwater, erosion and sediment-control scope
- Chesapeake Bay, floodplain, wetland and waterfront requirements
- Hampton Roads coastal wind, corrosion, flooding and marine logistics
- Northern Virginia data-centre power, cooling and long-lead equipment
- Urban access, active-facility, military-base and secure-site constraints
- Alternates, allowances, exclusions and addenda
