Estimating & takeoff

Estimates that show their work.

Taylor reads the full bid package — drawings, specs, addenda, wage schedule, bid form — performs the takeoff, prices labour, material and sub lines, and issues an estimate where every line traces to a sheet or a spec section. Missing information reads UNKNOWN, never a guess.

On your project

What changes on day one.

The package arrives Friday, the bid is due in eleven days

Taylor starts reading the same day. Rev 1 comes back with a conflict log and an UNKNOWN list so you know what to chase before you price.

Addendum 02 changes the electrical scope

Replace the sheets; Taylor reissues Rev 2 with the delta line by line. A revision with a reason, not a restart.

The fixture schedule isn't in the set

The line reads UNKNOWN with the reason and who has it. The total is withheld until it's resolved. A request to the architect is drafted for your approval.

How it works

Scoped and priced in writing before we start.

Every engagement starts with a Project Review about one real project. We return scope and one set price, in writing. Price moves only if scope moves. After the first project the crew stays on under a separate monthly arrangement — hosting, monitoring, new projects, a Monday report.

FAQ

Asked on every call.

What does it cost? +
Every engagement starts with a Project Review — a real call about one real project. We return scope and one set price, in writing, for that project. Price moves only if scope moves. After the first project the crew stays on under a separate monthly arrangement covering hosting, monitoring and new projects. There is no price list because there is no standard project.
What happens when Taylor doesn't have enough information? +
The line reads UNKNOWN, with the reason and who has the missing item — "fixture schedule not in the set, request from architect." The estimate total is withheld until every UNKNOWN is resolved. Taylor never fills a gap with a guess.
Can it stamp drawings or act as my architect? +
No. Taylor reads drawings and specs, performs takeoffs, flags conflicts and, later, helps with markups and constructability review. Licensed, stamped design responsibility stays with your architect or engineer of record. Design-assist is not licensed design, and we keep that line visible.
