Choosing an estimator for a defined review
Decide whether the immediate need is a bid review, a scope check or a budget reconciliation. Start with the current file and the decisions it must support. Ask the reviewer to identify the drawing basis and separate unresolved quantities from unresolved pricing.
What the estimate can show
- Scope and quantity detail arranged by the trade, system, phase or bid item.
- Document references so scope questions can be traced to the applicable plans or specifications.
- Assumptions and exclusions kept visible, with separate pricing or allowances when requested.
