Inside an Estimate

Every item with its quantity, unit, unit cost and extension, so any total can be traced back to a measurement.
Takeoff markups
Drawings with colour-coded overlays showing what was measured, so you can audit quantities sheet by sheet.
Assumptions & exclusions
The written basis of the estimate: what's in, what's out, and every allowance or clarification we carried.
