## Direct Answer

An MEP estimate review checklist helps estimators verify quantities, schedules, specifications, labor factors, supplier quotes, addenda, exclusions, alternates, and approval status before a bid is released. RenderDraw uses this structure to route AI-extracted MEP estimate rows through source-traceable human review.

## Best-Fit Teams

- Electrical, HVAC, plumbing, fire protection, low-voltage, controls, and multi-trade MEP estimators.
- Subcontractors that need to review AI takeoff output before bid submission.
- Preconstruction teams that need consistent review gates across trade packages, supplier quotes, labor factors, and GC bid forms.
- Teams moving from manual spreadsheets to source-traceable estimating workflows.

## Checklist Sections

1. Bid intake and document control.
2. Drawing and specification coverage.
3. Trade quantity review.
4. Schedule and equipment review.
5. Labor factor and assembly mapping.
6. Supplier quote comparison.
7. Addenda, alternates, exclusions, and scope gaps.
8. Risk, margin, review owner, evidence, and final approval status.
