02 / ESTIMATING

A number you can explain. A bid you can stand behind.

Connect reviewed quantities to your approved costs, then see how each estimating decision contributes to the final total.

Your inputs. Transparent calculations.

An estimate is a chain of decisions, not just a final number. Start with the reviewed takeoff, apply verified rates and make the adjustments visible.

01

Price with your approved rates

Use organization-managed material and labor rates or explicit manual rates and allowances. Rates are contractor-provided inputs, not AI-generated market prices.

02

Make adjustments explicit

Account for material waste, overhead, contingency, markup and configured tax. Review the cost breakdown before treating a draft as a commercial estimate.

03

Compare revisions

When a cost, quantity or assumption changes, create another estimate revision with a reason. Compare versions and preserve the earlier approved snapshot.

04

Prepare the handoff

Carry the reviewed estimate into a proposal with a defined scope and commercial terms. Keep the reason behind the number available to the team.
