Home/Frequently Asked Questions
A few useful
answers.
Answers about estimating scope, documents, fees, schedules and revisions.
What is the difference between a takeoff and an estimate?
A takeoff measures quantities. An estimate adds the agreed pricing assumptions. Compare the deliverables.
What should I send for a quote?
Start with a short project message and your current drawings. Include required trades, location and deadline when available. See the document checklist.
Can I request a single trade?
Yes. Define the trade, drawing set and areas you want included so the team can quote that scope.
How is the service fee determined?
Document complexity, trades, pricing requirements, deliverables and revision scope affect the fee. Confirm the amount and currency in your written quote.
How long will the work take?
The schedule depends on the scope, document readiness and team availability. Confirm a delivery date before commissioning work.
How are revisions handled?
Confirm the included revision allowance and how new drawings or added scope will be priced before work begins.
Can you review projects outside the United States?
Enquiries can be discussed for Canada, the UK and Australia. Confirm location, currency, document requirements and available scope for the assignment.
Does drafting support guarantee permit approval?
No. Approval depends on the reviewing authority and project requirements. Required professional review must be confirmed separately.
