Construction estimates assume you speak contractor. You don't—and that knowledge gap costs thousands in missed details, vague allowances, and questions you didn't know to ask.
Vague allowances and poorly defined specifications can lead to massive cost overruns. We identify ambiguous line items so you can address them with your contractor before signing.
Understanding what's included and what's missing is critical to project success. We show you exactly where gaps exist so you know who's paying for what—before work begins.
Knowing what questions to ask is half the battle. We generate specific, actionable questions based on what's missing or unclear—so you can start your project on the right foot.
Personalized analysis based on your input
Budget overruns
Excavation is listed as a lump sum without detail. Combined with the sloped lot you mentioned, this creates uncertainty around actual site preparation costs.
Analyzed in Phase B:
Excavation & Earthwork
No geotechnical report referenced
Hidden costs and change orders
Your estimate uses 'allowances' for flooring and fixtures without specifying what's included. These often lead to upgrade costs during construction when selections are made.
Analyzed in Phase F:
Interior Finishes
Flooring allowance lacks spec level details
