Full-project takeoffs, scope review, subcontractor bid leveling and cost estimating for GCs preparing competitive bids.
BuildBetterEstimates can handle the measurement and estimating work you need without forcing you into the same deliverable for every project. Send plans, specifications and your bid deadline; we organize the scope around the way you price work.
Start with drawings, specifications, addenda and owner requirements so the estimate is built around the complete bid package.
Build a measurable quantity base for self-performed and subcontracted scopes so proposal numbers can be checked against the plans.
Compare proposals on the same scope so low numbers can be checked for exclusions, missing quantities or duplicated work.
Turn measured quantities into an organized estimate that your team can review, revise and use before submission.
Deliverables can be organized by trade, CSI division, floor, phase or bid package. Quantities, pricing and assumptions stay easy to trace back to the drawings.
