Assumption. Lines were generated by splitting the anchored total with a default allocation profile (Site 5%, Shell 20%, Electrical 38%, Mechanical 22%, Fire / life safety 3%, Utility interconnect 5%, Soft costs 7%). The public indices report totals, not trade splits; edit quantities and rates line by line as pricing comes in. Drivers used: 150 MW · 1,200,000 SF · 120 acres · 60 generators.
