Hey Quinn, I was thinking about the upcoming green‑roof pilot for the downtown block. Need your numbers to make sure we stay on schedule without cutting corners.
Quinn
Sure, here’s the quick rundown: the pilot will run for 12 weeks from start to finish, with a projected budget of $350,000 and a 5 % contingency to cover unforeseen costs. We’re targeting a 20 % reduction in energy use for the block, and the current schedule shows we’re on track to hit those milestones without cutting corners. Let me know if you need more detail on any specific line item.
Angela
Thanks for the snapshot. Can you break the $350k down into materials, labor, and permits? Also, show the projected energy savings figure by quarter so we can spot any slip‑ups early. Let’s keep the contingency tight but realistic.
Quinn
Sure thing. For the $350,000 budget, I’m allocating about $210,000 to materials, $120,000 to labor, and $20,000 to permits. That leaves $20,000 set aside as a 5 % contingency—tight, but enough for small overruns.
Projected energy savings, broken down quarterly:
- Q1: 3 % reduction from baseline, about 1,200 kWh saved per month
- Q2: 5 % reduction, about 2,000 kWh saved per month
- Q3: 7 % reduction, about 2,800 kWh saved per month
- Q4: 10 % reduction, about 4,000 kWh saved per month
Those numbers should help us catch any slip‑ups early. Let me know if you need any more detail.

Looks solid. Just double‑check the labor hours per week against the 12‑week window—if someone is off schedule we’ll hit that $20k buffer fast. Also, let me see the vendor quotes for the roof panels; I want to lock the material cost before the weather window closes. Let me know once you have that.
