Steps
- 1Take off quantities from issued-for-construction drawings only, revision-stamped
- 2Apply productivity rates from YOUR historical data where possible
- 3Price escalation exposure explicitly for long-duration packages
- 4Risk register items each carry quantified allowance or explicit exclusion
- 5Peer review gate before submit: two challenge questions minimum
- 6Post-bid learning loop: estimate vs actual fed back by division
Common Pitfalls
- ▲Pricing from superseded drawing revisions
- ▲Allowances hidden inside line items nobody can audit
