A detailed takeoff becomes a bid only after the estimator brings all of the costs together and evaluates the project as a whole. This lesson focuses on recapping the estimate and preparing the final proposal. You will review material, labor, equipment, subcontractors, quotations, indirect costs, and other estimate components before considering markups and the final selling price. The lesson also emphasizes reviewing the completed estimate for omissions and clearly defining the scope, inclusions, exclusions, and qualifications presented with the bid.
