What this means for your estimate

Choose a Seattle estimate package around the proposed use
For a Seattle property where the proposed use differs from the existing record, ask for a quote based on the design team’s issued alteration scope. Supply the existing layout, proposed plans and relevant use-history information alongside the bid instructions. We can separate retained building elements, removals and new divisions in the estimate; we do not determine the lawful use or design a conversion. Identify which building and site systems are inside your contract so the requested construction budget answers your actual acquisition, tender or renovation decision.
A contractor-ready construction estimate
Request one coordinated division summary with quantities, the agreed pricing basis and visible exclusions. Package boundaries matter before totals are combined: owner work, specialist quotations and provisional design items should remain identifiable.
To define your quote: Is this a full-project estimate or a selected group of divisions, and do you need quantity-only or installed-cost support?
Retained work versus new construction
Separate removals, retained items, protection and new installation before producing the bid total. Compare existing and proposed sheets so an item shown on both is not purchased twice. Where existing conditions are unknown, identify the information needed rather than pricing concealed conditions as verified quantities.
