  • Schedule of quantities and unit prices
2.

Review and optimization of existing specifications

  • Validation of quantities and scope of work
  • Detection of inconsistencies and omissions
  • Adjustment of technical specifications
  • Alignment with mechanical drawings and specifications
  • Consistency with other disciplines (electrical, structural, etc.)
3.

Written technical recommendations

  • Field diagnosis: analysis of HVAC systems and identification of issues (performance, hygiene, compliance)
  • Recommendations report following visual or instrumental inspection
  • Prioritized corrective recommendations (priority 1-2-3): system improvements, ventilation optimization, contaminant control strategies
  • Preventive recommendations: periodic maintenance plan, good operating practices
