Sheet A-01 / Basement Buildout / 9593

Dedicated theater. Clean boundaries.

Ben/Lifestyle is now the selected GC/buildout path. Keep AV and display decisions separate, and make the final contract spell out sound isolation, shell, seats, acoustics, permits, warranty, and finish exclusions before money moves.

Exhibit A: theater direction board, kept as a visual reference rather than a final construction drawing.

Selected GC$115.2KBen $105K base plus $10.2K sound-isolation option.

AV range$50K-$90.5KBrad AV-only thinking through TriZone broad full-room proposal.

Current Read

GC is picked; AV is still open.

AV is not GC scope.

Recommendation

GC is picked; AV is still open.

Ben is now the selected buildout lead at $115.2K including the sound-isolation option. Nick/Custom Works, Justin/Prestige, Pixel Perfect, and TriZone still need to be compared as AV/display lanes, not stacked blindly on top of Ben.

Scope Boundary

AV is not GC scope.

Ben owns the GC/buildout bucket. Custom Works, Prestige, Pixel Perfect, TriZone, seats, display, audio, controls, flooring, mirrors, furniture, and owner-sourced equipment need separate lines.

Quote Ledger

Numbers with gates.

Theater numbers only compare cleanly when AV, broad full-room packages, and GC finish work are separated.
