What this means for your estimate
Do not let an interior-fit-out label hide structural modifications, a changed use or work beyond the leased premises. Separate retained shell systems, tenant work and landlord responsibilities so bids share a comparable boundary.

For a home, addition or remodel, send structural information and the selections available today. Keep owner choices visible as allowances so upgrades can be compared without changing the measured building scope.
