Drawings, specs, addenda — make sure you're pricing the right scope before anything else.
Access, staging, utilities, restrictions. The stuff that blows up your budget if you miss it.
Define what's out before you price what's in. Protect your margins from day one.
Material quantities, vendor quotes, waste factors — organized by CSI division.
The contractors who win consistently aren't guessing — they're following a system. Every missed line item is money you're leaving on the table or eating out of your margin.
