Estimation Disclaimer - Scope of Services
Scope and Limitations of Our Construction Cost Estimates & Takeoffs
In our efforts to help contractors bid more and win more contracts, we provide construction cost estimating services across the USA. We strive to offer the most accurate and up-to-date information, which enables contractors to make informed decisions. However, it’s important to understand the limitations and scope of our services. This disclaimer is here to make transparency and to help you fully understand what our services entail, as well as what they do not cover.
Our estimates are based on various factors, including current market rates, material costs, and regional pricing trends. While we aim for precision, construction is inherently complex, and various elements can alter the final costs. This includes unexpected changes in material prices, site conditions, labor rates, and other unforeseen challenges. As such, our cost estimates should be viewed as one of many tools to assist in project planning and not as a guaranteed final cost.
Client Responsibilities and Understanding Estimates
It is important to remember that our estimates do not account for every possible variable. We emphasize that these are estimates only and not fixed quotations. Contractors should treat them as a guideline rather than an absolute statement of costs. Before submitting a bid, we advise that contractors verify key project details with clients and suppliers. Additionally, while our services are comprehensive, they do not cover on-site evaluations, which might reveal specific conditions affecting costs, such as unique geological factors or existing infrastructure.
We encourage contractors to conduct their assessments wherever possible to complement our estimates. Furthermore, our estimates are subject to change based on updated data and evolving market conditions. We cannot guarantee price stability during the timeframe between receiving the estimate and project execution. Therefore, maintaining open communication with suppliers and monitoring market trends is essential for accuracy. As always, due diligence by all parties involved is vital for project success.
