Colorado Estimating Workflow

How Do We Prepare Construction Estimates?

First, we review the project documents. Next, we define the estimating scope. Then, the quantities and estimate information are organized for delivery.

Estimate Setup

Start With the Drawings, Specifications and Trade Scope

A clear starting point helps define the estimate package. Therefore, we review the available documents, trade scope and bid requirements before quantity review begins.

Drawings Architectural, structural, civil and MEP information.
Specifications Relevant product and system requirements.
Trade Scope The work packages to include.
Bid Requirements Required format and bid information.
Project Notes Available instructions and assumptions.
Deadline The required estimate delivery date.

Estimating Process

A Structured Six-Step Estimating Workflow

The exact process can vary by project. However, a structured workflow helps organize the estimate from source documents to final outputs.

01 Review Project Documents

Review available drawings, specifications and project instructions.

02 Confirm Estimating Scope

Define trades, work packages and required estimate outputs.

03 Review Quantities

Organize material and component quantities for the agreed scope.

04 Apply Estimate Basis

Use the agreed pricing inputs, labor assumptions and scope information.

05 Review the Estimate

Check quantity organization, scope coverage and estimate structure.

06 Prepare Deliverables

Organize the agreed takeoff, estimate and supporting information.

Organize Quantities by the Defined Project Scope

Material quantities can be organized by trade, system or work package. This creates a clearer basis for the estimate.

Trade Quantities Quantities grouped by relevant trade.
Material Quantities Relevant materials from supplied documents.
System Breakdown Items grouped by project system.
Work Packages Defined estimating packages when required.

Keep Pricing Inputs and Assumptions Clear

Project conditions can differ across Colorado. So, the estimate basis should clearly identify the information used for pricing.

Material Inputs Relevant pricing information when included.
Labor Assumptions Labor requirements or agreed assumptions.
Regional Factors Relevant Colorado project conditions.
Scope Assumptions Defined inclusions and estimate basis.
Estimate Review

Check the Estimate Against the Agreed Scope

Before delivery, the estimate can be reviewed for scope coverage and document organization.

Scope Coverage Check the agreed trade requirements.
Quantity Review Review organized quantity information.
Assumptions Check relevant estimate assumptions.
Report Structure Review the agreed output format.
Drawing Revisions

Update the Estimate When Project Information Changes

Project documents can change during bidding or planning. Therefore, revised information can be reviewed within the agreed scope.

Receive Revision Review updated project documents.
Identify Changes Locate affected scope items.
Update Quantities Revise affected estimate information.
Review Again Check the revised output package.

Prepare the Agreed Estimating Package

Finally, the agreed outputs are organized for project-team review. The exact package depends on the selected estimating scope.

Quantity Takeoff Organized project quantity information.
Trade Estimate Defined trade estimate outputs.
Cost Summary Structured pricing information when included.
BOQ / Bid Output Required bid or BOQ documentation.
Estimate Basis & Final Pricing

Our team prepares estimating outputs from the supplied drawings, specifications, scope information and agreed assumptions. Final pricing, bid submission, procurement and construction decisions remain with the responsible project team.
