Estimating that pays for itself
Residential Estimating Service provides estimates in useful formats for our clients. Each of these estimate formats provide unique benefits to our clients and their trades and material suppliers.
How did we come up with our estimate formats? We provide our estimates using an “order point” philosophy. That means that instead of lumping all material into a single takeoff, we separate our estimates by the delivery that our client requires.
For example, if a builder is trying to contol loss on the jobsite or if they have a narrow lot, we suggest breaking the deliveries into smaller logical parts – such as frame 1 walls, and then delivering frame 1 joists. If the builder has either particularly small houses or large crews, he can ask us to cusomize our estimate formats to combine lumber into larger deliveries.
At Residential Estimating Service, our client’s needs always come first.
Estimates can be delivered in a variety of formats:
Printed Estimate Formats:
- Sample Estimate – Detail Has Been Removed – Great to Send to Suppliers
- Sample Estimate – Has a Great Audit Trail and Detail – Great to Double-Check and Confirm the Estimate
- Sample Estimate – Bid Forms With Room for Pricing
