Bid‑day reality
Plans change. Counts get messy. DJE gets buried. You need a repeatable way to move from takeoff to a price you trust.
- One source of truth for materials, labor units, and DJE.
- Same layout everywhere so your hands move faster.
- Totals that add up the way you expect on bid day.
From first read to sell price
- Read specs, mark questions. Note special requirements, alternates, and addenda early.
- Takeoff counts. Mark devices and gear; learn the plan while you count.
- Set defaults. Labor rate, overhead, margin, and tax - get the baseline right.
- Build assemblies & materials. Add items cleanly; group by area or floor so edits are easy later.
- Apply labor factors. Adjust for access, height, schedule, and repetition - document why.
- Add DJE. Permits, rentals, delivery, disposal - don’t bury them in labor.
- Review summary. Roll up materials, labor, and DJE. Apply OH&P, tax, and sanity‑check totals.
- Price & export. Lock numbers, export clean outputs, and move to proposal.
This mirrors how estimators actually work - no shortcuts.
