An estimating workflow for repeated Houston opportunities

F&K can propose estimating capacity around those assignments, with a drawing register and revision handover for each job. Record utility connection assumptions separately for every project; a handover point from one development should not carry into another. Tell us who supplies rates and supplier returns, which deadlines take priority and how completed work will be reviewed by your team.
