F&K Estimatings can prepare the selected work below from your project documents. Use this scope brief to request a proposal with the deliverables, fee and delivery date agreed before work starts.
A budget tied to the current design stage
Define the decision the budget supports and identify the drawing information available today. Keep measured scope, allowances and pricing assumptions distinct so a later revision can explain scope growth separately from rate changes.
To define your quote: Is this feasibility, a design-development budget or a construction-document bid, and what pricing date should apply?
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.
