Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you respond to estimate requests?
Our turnaround time depends on the project size and complexity. Simple estimates can be completed in a few days, while comprehensive estimates for large projects may take 1-2 weeks. We'll provide you with a specific timeframe after our initial consultation.
How do I start the estimating process?
The more information you can provide, the more accurate our estimate will be. Ideally, we need architectural drawings, specifications, engineering reports, and any other relevant documentation. For preliminary estimates, even concept sketches and a detailed brief can help us provide initial cost guidance.
