More than just numbers.
Every estimate is carefully developed in a way to clearly identify the scope of the project.
Quantity take-offs are performed to develop the basis for the labor and material pricing.
Current market data and historical information combined with project-specific location factors are used in pricing each project .
The estimate is summarized based on Client preference and can include alternate scopes, CSI standard cost codes and custom cost codes.
