What Is Included in a Commercial Tenant Improvement (TI) MEP Takeoff?

It segregates demolition from new work, quantifying VAV box relocations, flexible duct runouts, linear slot diffusers, core-drilled restroom and breakroom plumbing tie-ins, Title 24 and IECC-compliant lighting control sensors, and underfloor electrical raceways within a fast 48- to 72-hour turnaround window.
