Estimating

When shopping Builders, you probably hear a “square foot price”, quite often. In many cases, this pricing is “Subject to Change”, and quoted low as a gimmick to get you in the door..

We prefer to quote high value estimates that include measurements, and all of your selections (with realistic budget numbers).

Our Estimating Process includes:

  • Initial Budget Discussions- Grade of finishes and fixtures.

  • Selections Type- Flooring, counters, cabinets.

  • Material and Labor takeoffs

  • Budget and Estimate Review

    This process may repeat itself as often as it takes as we work to include your must-haves and wants into our package.
