FAQ

Good questions.

Can you help with prevailing-wage projects?

Yes. See our public-sector and prevailing-wage estimating page for how labor is priced.

Do you handle certified payroll?

Estimating only. Certified payroll stays with your team.

How is pricing set for my project?

Material and labor pricing is tailored to your project's ZIP code and current local market. Contractor-provided costs, labor rates and production assumptions can be used where agreed.
