Ongoing Seattle alteration bids with separate job assumptions
When several Seattle properties are being priced, keep each property’s existing-use information and proposed alteration scope in its own estimating record. An assumption about retained systems on one job should not become the template for the next. F&K can propose ongoing capacity around your actual bid schedule, measurement standards and review process. Identify which assignments are feasibility studies and which have issued drawings. The arrangement should distinguish new takeoffs from revisions and state who authorizes scope changes before more estimating work is commissioned.
Ongoing estimating work with defined priorities
Map the actual bid queue, drawing readiness and delivery requirements before agreeing ongoing capacity. Use your cost codes and templates, with drawing issues and revision handovers identified for each assigned opportunity.

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. For this Seattle, WA dedicated estimator request: Send existing and proposed plans, the stated use, relevant permit-history documents and the latest scope clarifications for the alteration.
