Washington Construction Estimating Workflow

How Is a Construction Estimate Prepared?

The estimating workflow begins with the available drawings, specifications, project scope, trade requirements and required deliverables. Quantities, cost inputs, assumptions and estimate outputs are then organized around the agreed assignment.

Estimating Basis

Confirming the estimating basis helps establish what needs to be measured, priced and included in the final estimate package.

Project Drawings Available architectural, structural and MEP documents.
Specifications Applicable technical and project requirements.
Trade Scope Defined disciplines and work packages to be estimated.
Project Requirements Applicable project-specific estimating information.
Estimate Format Required BOQ, trade breakdown or estimate structure.
