Tips on Estimating Radiant Heating Electric Cable Costs from RSMeans

Review all construction documentation before proceeding with the estimate for HVAC. It is not unusual to find items on the plans, but not in the specifications; or they may be in the specifications but not on the drawings. Also check any and all communications; the owner may have requested a change or expressed a concern or a specific need, and not have had it included in your drawings or specifications.
