Why Accurate Finish Estimating Matters

Finish materials represent a significant portion of total construction cost and require detailed coordination with architectural intent and interior design. Errors in quantities, sequencing, or scope boundaries can lead to costly disputes and change orders. Our estimates minimize these risks by:

Breaking down costs by location, room, elevation, or finish type
Flagging inconsistencies between architectural and structural drawings
Providing clearly labeled wall sections, floor finish legends, and ceiling plans
Accounting for waste factors, phasing, and alternates
Coordinating scope overlaps with trades like MEP and glazing

Our Estimating Approach

Our finish estimators use Bluebeam, PlanSwift, and custom Excel templates to prepare detailed and customizable estimates. We also apply RSMeans and national supplier pricing databases to deliver cost certainty, regional pricing, and manhour data.

✅ Itemized takeoffs by material type
✅ Labor and material costs with productivity factors
✅ Waste & coverage calculations
✅ Unit cost summaries
✅ Bid proposals or subcontractor pricing sheets (on request)
✅ CSI MasterFormat-compliant breakdowns
