Update at a glance
Week of Sep 21, 2026 4 of 6 milestones verified 1 milestone held
Where each milestone on the Ridgeview Medical Office Building mechanical package stands, reported from counted quantities in the accepted daily reports and not from foreman estimates, with the one milestone held and the reason second-floor piping reads 52 percent and not 60. Prepared by Dominic Ostrowski, Ironvale Mechanical project manager, from the verified count, for the Brackenhurst Builders superintendent and the owner's representative.
The update for the week of Sep 21 carried 6 milestones. Four are verified, one is drafted and one is held. A milestone is published only when a count backs it. Held items are named here and not smoothed over.
The four measures behind the update
The same week's record shows four measures. Scope lines confirmed first pass are 39 of 42. Submittals answered are 14 of 18. Change events with a customer decision are 7 of 9. Closeout items accepted by Brackenhurst are 2 of 27. The status update sits beside them, so a reader sees which numbers rest on counts and which are still open.
Field estimate and verified count
For the week of Sep 21, the chart compares the foreman estimate with the count of hangers and welded joints in five areas. Four areas agree exactly. Underslab plumbing, first-floor ductwork and rooftop units read 100 percent on both measures, and third-floor hangers read 20 percent on both. Second-floor piping is the only gap: 60 percent estimated and 52 percent counted, a difference of 8 points.
The six milestones and how each was verified
| Milestone | Status | Foreman estimate | Verified count | Verification source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Underslab plumbing complete | Verified | 100% | 100% | Accepted daily reports and the underslab pressure test record |
| First-floor ductwork complete | Verified | 100% | 100% | Accepted daily reports and the duct section count walked with the site superintendent |
| Rooftop units set | Verified | 100% | 100% | Accepted daily reports and the equipment set photos |
| Third-floor hangers | Verified | 20% | 20% | Hanger count in the accepted daily reports for Sep 21 to 25 |
| Controls rough-in, first floor | Drafted | Not given | Draft 35% | Draft from the daily reports; the count has not been checked yet |
| Second-floor piping | Held | 60% | 52% | Hangers and welded joints counted with the site superintendent on Sep 23, work order WO-3110 |
Percentages are the share of the milestone's counted quantity that is installed. Dates are counted to Sep 28.
The verification rule
- Field estimate
- The foreman's view of how far along an area is. It starts the conversation and is never published on its own.
- Verified count
- Hangers, welded joints, duct sections or set equipment counted in an accepted daily report or walked with the site superintendent.
- Verified
- Dominic Ostrowski has checked the count against the field estimate and the two agree, or the difference is explained. Only verified milestones go in the update.
- Drafted
- Prepared from the daily reports and waiting for a count. It is shown as a draft, with no percent claimed as verified.
- Held
- The estimate and the count disagree and the difference is not yet explained. The update names the milestone and says why it is held.
- Published
- Sent to Brackenhurst in the weekly update, normally on Friday, after Dominic Ostrowski approves it.
Second-floor piping, held
Look-ahead for next week
Four things happen between Oct 5 and Oct 9. The condensate pump addition, work order WO-3104, is scheduled to start on Oct 5, and the crews continue the third-floor hangers.
- Sep 25, four verified milestones published
- Oct 5, Marguerite Toussaint pulls the second-floor daily reports and sets them against the Sep 23 count
- Oct 7, Dominic Ostrowski checks the reconciled percentage and the first-floor controls rough-in count
- Oct 8, coordination meeting with Brackenhurst, held piping explained in person
- Oct 9, update published with the reconciled piping percentage
If the reconciliation changes the 52 percent, the update says so and shows the daily reports that changed it. If it does not, the update says that too.
