openings estimating questions
What documents should I send?
Plans and specifications are the best starting point. Addenda, bid forms, scope letters, equipment schedules, alternates, and vendor requirements should also be included when available.
Can you provide quantities without pricing?
Yes. We can prepare a quantity takeoff only or a detailed estimate with labor, material, equipment, and other agreed cost components.
Can the estimate be revised before bid day?
Yes. When drawings, addenda, or clarifications change, share the updates and we can revise the affected scope based on the agreed service.
