FAQ
Sitework Estimating, answered.
Talk to an estimator
Not a salesperson. Same-day answers on working days.
+1 518 974 7222[email protected]What does sitework include?
Site demolition, clearing, erosion control, site concrete, fencing and site furnishings, each measured as its own scope.
Do you include erosion control?
Yes. Silt fence, inlet protection and construction entrances are measured from the erosion control plan.
Can you use our cost book and labor rates?
Yes, and we prefer it. Your historical costs reflect your crews and your suppliers better than any published average. Send the template and we work inside it.
How does pricing work?
Pricing is per project and quoted before any work starts — no retainer, no minimum volume and no subscription.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. Drawings, specifications and pricing are treated as confidential by default, and we sign your NDA on request before any documents change hands.
