FAQ

Good questions.

Who uses this service?

Door and hardware suppliers and installers, general contractors and owners.

Do you price access control?

We note the door-side interfaces. Access control equipment and programming are usually by the security contractor.

Can I get quantities only?

Yes. A quantity takeoff carries no unit costs. A priced estimate states the pricing basis: your rates, Hemingway pricing inputs for the project's ZIP code, or an applicable wage determination.

What should I send?

Door schedule, hardware sets, floor plans, elevations, Division 08 specifications and addenda.
