A proposal from Crest is written to be compared: scope, allowances and schedule, each on its own line.
How a proposal is built.
We separate the scope from the allowances and the schedule, so you can see what a figure buys and what would move it. Permits, engineering and inspections are listed where they apply, never folded into a number you cannot check.
- Which items are allowances, and what happens when a selection exceeds one?
- How are permits, engineering and inspections shown in the proposal?
- What would change the price after the contract is signed?
Put this perspective into practice.
