RFI-01 · High priority

Governing revision and floor count

Confirm the governing architectural and structural revision. Is the current baseline basement + ground + first + second + terrace? Identify whether the separate G+3 DWG is an alternative only.

Model assumption: B+G+2+terrace baseline. G+3 is not built into B01.

RFI-02 · High priority

Ramp longitudinal section and west-side grade

Supply a dimensioned section along the ramp with road, footpath, ramp crest, toe, transition lengths, soffit/beam/shutter levels and the location of the quoted 6 ft 9 in minimum clearance. Confirm external walkway levels.

Model assumption: Straight 180 in ramp drops 48 in from road to basement. The 9 in road/footpath transition is NOT resolved; model must not be used for vehicle clearance approval.

Basement plan: 9 ft 11.5 in width, 15 ft run, 1:3.75; basement -4 ft 9 in; road approximately -9 in; footpath zero
RFI-03 · High priority

All stair sections and flight relationship

Confirm riser counts, tread depths, nosings, intermediate levels, slab thickness and underside profiles for internal stairs, main entrance and basement pedestrian stairs. Confirm GF return-flight width and central gap: CAD shows 55.5 in return width in GF but 48 in upper flights, and 10.5 in upper gap.

Model assumption: Internal flights use 11 risers per flight and 105 in run, with sloping 6 in nominal waist. Upper arrangement repeated to GF. External entrance 11 risers; basement access 10 risers. These are provisional and not a verified stair design.

Aligned CAD: upper flights 48 in, 10 treads at 10.5 in, arrival landing 60 in; section floor heights
RFI-04 · High priority

Ground foyer and outward offset

Reconcile the 8 ft 1 in common-entrance label, earlier 7 ft 7.5 in foyer detail and CAD front enclosure width approximately 91.6 in. Dimension the east-side offsets by structural grid, distinguishing setback from wall displacement.

Model assumption: CAD-aligned enclosure retained. Upper foyer clear width is 67 in between x=23.066 and x=90.066 in. The east-wall offset comes from coordinate geometry, not an assumed 2 ft extension.

GF September 11; foyer detail September 8; September 4 CAD
RFI-05 · High priority

Upper-floor structural plans and south elevation

Provide structural framing for first, second and terrace levels, stair roof and lift overrun, and a south elevation. Confirm column sizes and offsets on every floor.

Model assumption: Upper slabs provisionally 6 in plus 50 mm finishes. Repeated column envelopes; upper downstand beams not invented. Rear window height inferred from schedules.

Only basement roof structural drawings supplied; repeated architectural column positions
RFI-06 · Medium priority

Coordinated door and window schedule

Issue matching schedules for W2/W3/W4 and all structural glazing, with clear opening widths, sill/head levels, frames, opening direction and glass specification. Confirm tenant door dimensions and labels.

Model assumption: Rear windows generally 6 ft high with 3 ft sill; stair windows 8 ft 6 in high where floor height permits. Door heights provisional. User-facing labels D1/Tenant 1 and D2/Tenant 2 are aliases; drawing codes remain in source register.

Upper plan window codes do not match copied schedule; both upper tenant doors coded D2
RFI-07 · High priority

Lift supplier dimensions

Provide lift GA, structural shaft clearances, finished opening, door height, pit depth, overhead clearance and overrun roof level. Confirm terrace lift stop or non-accessible overrun.

Model assumption: 36 in x 84 in doors on east side for basement to second. Terrace is overrun, not an added passenger stop. Overrun envelope is provisional.

Plan clear shaft 5 ft x 5 ft 6 in; opening to be decided with lift agency; pit marked -9 ft 9 in
RFI-08 · Medium priority

Façade fabrication and open foyer edges

Dimension ACP/stone frame profiles, returns, bracket offsets, fin sections/spacing, sign bands, pergola and open-foyer parapets. Explain the elevation plus/minus offset labels and their reference plane.

Model assumption: Façade profiles reconstructed as separate components; depths/fin fabrication illustrative. Upper foyers remain open-air as architect baseline. No external balcony or extended foyer added.

North/east elevations and architectural renders
RFI-09 · Medium priority

Guardrails and parapets

Confirm required heights, infill spacing, handrail diameter, post placement and details around all stairs, basement openings and terrace edges.

Model assumption: 34 in stair guards and 40 in terrace/foyer parapets modelled as drawing/visual envelopes. These are not a verified compliant guard design.

North elevation labels SS railing 2 ft 10 in; other details incomplete
RFI-10 · High priority

Basement roof structural coordination and B14

Resolve B14: 6 x 18 in on shuttering versus 8 x 18 in on reinforcement. Supply a coordinated overlay tying every beam and the 7 in slab patch to architectural grid and ramp opening; confirm whether 18 in is overall depth and exact 50 mm level convention.

Model assumption: 6 in slab, local 7 in patch; 18 in beam envelopes. B01 beam axes and local patch are schematic registration only, NOT a complete extraction of the structural beam schedule. No B14 size selected as approved.

RFI-11 · Medium priority

Toilet option selection

Select OPT-1 or OPT-2 for first and second floors and confirm plumbing/ventilation shafts and door sizes.

Model assumption: OPT-1 modelled; OPT-2 excluded to avoid presenting two alternatives as simultaneous construction.

Upper plans show both alternative toilet locations
RFI-12 · Low priority

Finishes and lighting

Confirm floor build-ups, stone/ACP/wood finishes, colour palette, actual fixture selection and electrical routing.

Model assumption: Materials and lighting are illustrative; 50 mm floor build-up used consistently pending confirmation. No restaurant fit-out in architect baseline.

Architectural renders and roof structural level note
RFI-13 · Medium priority

Services and rooftop equipment

Provide DG and electrical equipment GA/maintenance clearances, sump and borewell details, duct routes, tank dimensions and support arrangement.

Model assumption: Simplified equipment envelopes in plan locations; tank dimensions illustrative, not manufacturer GA or structural support design.

Architect basement and terrace plans; 2 x 3500 litre tanks indicated
RFI-14 · Medium priority

Parking baseline versus proposed conversion

Confirm removal or retention of the 408 sq ft basement commercial room and provide a parking manoeuvre study using selected vehicle dimensions. Confirm revised pedestrian access if the room is removed.

Model assumption: B01 keeps the architect layout. Vehicles are generic size envelopes, not approved bay capacity. Five-car concept is not verified or implemented in this baseline.

Latest architect baseline retains commercial room, two rear cars and six two-wheelers
RFI-15 · High priority

As-built survey and area definition

Provide measured column faces, slab edges, openings and finished levels; identify any site deviations. Confirm the agreed carpet/built-up/rentable area measurement basis before using area differences commercially.

Model assumption: B01 is drawing-based. Listed areas are polygon geometry minus model voids, not certified rentable area. First/second footprint is harmonised where half-inch drafting differences remain unresolved.

Drawings only; small CAD dimension overrides and first/second differences
