Answer First

What Does a Professional Construction Estimate Look Like?

A professional construction estimate includes a summary sheet, a detailed line-item breakdown by CSI division or trade, quantities with units, labor, material and equipment costs, general conditions and markups, and a list of assumptions and exclusions — usually with marked-up plans showing what was measured.

Our sample estimates show that structure in practice. Client names, addresses and proprietary details are removed to protect confidentiality, and prices reflect the date the sample was prepared.

Every sample shows:

Estimate summary
CSI division breakdown
Line-item quantities & units
Unit costs & extensions
General conditions & markups
Assumptions & exclusions
Marked-up takeoff plans
