Use this “Quick Quote Spreadsheet” To Estimate Design and Building Costs

October 5, 2009

Designers and Contractors all need to establish a design and building range of costs for each project. One method that is commonly used is theĀ  “Quick Quote” method.

A “Quick Quote” is really nothing more than a guesstimate or swag (scientific wild a** guess) that helps define a scope of work and budget that is used to insure that your client is realistic in what they want to do.

I’ve developed a simple spreadsheet that can be used for this process. It’s simple and quick to use and will help you think through each project and produce a written document that you can work from. It’s not meant to replace your estimating system.
