NO DRAWINGS REQUIRED
Measured a bathroom renovation? Send the shower, floor and tub-surround areas with photos and work notes. See how those measurements become a materials takeoff, an internal estimate and a detailed proposal under your company name.
Room names, dimensions and units, shower and floor areas, existing conditions, demolition needs, fixture selections and who supplies materials. Include photos, repair notes and your rates if available.
An internal estimate with quantities, costs, allowances and markups; plus a branded client proposal with detailed scope, selling price and exclusions. Our bathroom sample also shows an estimated Gantt project plan. You approve the selling price before sending it.
Based on contractor-supplied measurements, not a site inspection. Unknown floor preparation or concealed damage is identified as an allowance or exclusion. Already have a calculated price and scope? Ask about proposal formatting only.

Share plans or measurements and photos, selected trades and your bid deadline.
Review the included work, deliverables, final fee, payment schedule, delivery date and revision allowance. Confirm approval in writing.
After approval, receive a separate invoice. Work starts after the agreed initial payment and all required project information arrive.
Receive the agreed files. Review quantities, assumptions and your selling price, then send one consolidated revision request within the quoted review period.
Your request is free to submit. No fee or delivery date is confirmed until we review your request and send you a written quote.
Your written quote identifies the trades and areas included, files you will receive, assumptions and exclusions, final service fee, any approved logo add-on, and payment and delivery milestones. You can ask for changes before approving.
Revisions within the approved scope and their request deadline are stated in your quote. New drawings, added trades or changed scope are quoted separately before additional work begins. Corrections to our transcription or calculation errors are included.
