Building automation is its own scope under Division 25, and a controls subcontractor that does not read the integration points and the sequences of operation is pricing the wrong system.
What Division 25 sets
Division 25 covers integrated automation, the building automation system that ties together HVAC, lighting, and metering. The Division 25 specifications set the controllers, the network architecture, the points list, and the sequences of operation the contractor must deliver and integrate with the mechanical and electrical systems.
Why BAS scope is easy to misprice
The points list, the integration with third party equipment, the network architecture, and the sequences of operation sit across Division 25 and Division 23, not the title. A contractor that misreads the integration scope or the points count carries the wrong labor and programming into the bid.
How an AI bid agent reads Division 25
An AI bid agent reads each automation package, identifies the Division 25 scope, and surfaces the controllers, the points, the integration, and the sequences that drive the work. The controls contractor prices the actual system.
You can see how the agent reads a Division 25 package in our AI bid agent demo for MEP subcontractors. It pulls the BAS scope, points, and integration so the system is priced correctly.
