Review where a number came from, when it applied, what it includes, and whether it fits your job.
See the costs that add up
Account for burden, delivery, waste, overhead, and allowances before deciding on your final price.
Make the proposal clear
Show the customer the work and price, with assumptions and exclusions that set expectations.

OAKLINE CONSTRUCTION CO. / ESTIMATOR WORKSHEET
Detailed cost build-up
