Every trade, priced from the drawings.
Pick your trade. You get how the scope is measured, where the quantities hide in the set, how to bid it as a sub, and a calculator for the numbers you work out by hand. Written from the subcontractor's seat, because that is who is usually holding the drawings at 11pm.
- ✓Estimating and takeoff for 16 trades

Your Trade, and Everything We Hold on It.
