Estimating

This estimating project was to do a takeoff estimate of a foundation structure of a building. After the takeoff was complete we then proceeded to us RS Means to create a Assembly Price (top image) and a unit price (bottom image). The Assembly price is derived through RS Mean's estimate of how much each assembly would cost. ie: footings, slab, ect.

The unit price is a detailed price of each unit that goes into the project. Both unit and assembly prices include labor.
