If Your Preconstruction System Looks Like This...

  • A Junk Drawer of Cost History
  • A Budget Spreadsheet
  • A Bid Tab Spreadsheet
  • A Bidding Platform
  • A Bunch of Emails
  • And Whatever the Estimator Remembers
No wonder estimates take weeks and numbers get missed
This isn’t a system. It’s a survival strategy.
