Getting Approval and a Quote

Approval

After you approve the estimated price and turnaround time, we’ll invoice you the whole amount; after that’s paid, we’ll send you the materials you need to get prices from vendors.

Check your work and put the finishing touches on it.

Review

We’ll contact you to wrap things up after we’ve launched. Prior to this stage, we may have inquiries about the working conditions at the site, the required travel time, the prevailing wage, and more. To ensure sufficient time for review before the bid date, we’d like to have the takeoff finished no later than two days beforehand. A lot rides on the scope of the project and the speed with which we acquire go-ahead approval.
