Accuracy and Data Questions
How accurate are your estimates?
Accuracy depends on drawing completeness. We follow the AACE International classification system and state expected accuracy on every estimate. See Estimating Methodology.
Where does your pricing come from?
Arizona supplier pricing, local labor rates, recognized cost databases adjusted for Arizona locations, and benchmarks from comparable projects.
Who checks the estimate?
A second estimator reviews every estimate before delivery. See Our Estimators.
Do you include Arizona taxes?
Yes, when requested. Transaction privilege tax is shown separately with the basis used, which your tax advisor should confirm.
Are your estimates guaranteed?
No estimate can guarantee final construction cost. Estimates are professional opinions of probable cost. See our Disclaimer.
