07: Design Team Instruction Language

Eligible cost allocation, energy modeling, and savings documentation are underwriting requirements. If the design team has not been told to support them, they will not exist when underwriting asks — and reconstructing them later costs weeks of schedule. This sheet supplies draft scope language for architect and MEP engineering agreements, written as a standing scope item rather than a per-project instruction, with counsel review before execution. It sets out the seven deliverables underwriting actually needs, when each is due, and why, then prices the difference: instructed at design development, allocation is a structuring choice in work the team is already doing; addressed during underwriting, it is a reconstruction exercise against a completed cost report.
