Standard commercial preconstruction consulting terms, deliverable review guidelines, and professional estimating scope parameters.
1. Scope of Estimating Consulting Services
JLG Estimating Services LLC operates as an independent preconstruction takeoff and construction cost consulting firm. Deliverables provided—including bills of quantities (BOQ), marked-up PDF blueprint drawings, digital measurement schedules, and Excel labor calculations—are developed based strictly on the issued architectural plans, structural sheets, civil utilities, MEP engineering models, specifications, addenda, and equipment schedules supplied by the client.
2. Subcontractor Review & Final Bid Submission Responsibility
The contracting firm submitting the final bid proposal to the general contractor, construction manager, or project owner is responsible for reviewing and approving the bid price, trade markups, local sales taxes, bonding rates, labor burden multipliers, and project contingency allowances before tender submission. The project proposal describes the agreed estimating scope and deliverables.
3. Professional Engineering & Architectural Disclaimer
JLG Estimating provides preconstruction quantity surveying and cost estimating consulting. JLG Estimating does not provide licensed Professional Engineering (P.E.), architectural, structural engineering, or stamped design services. Any value engineering suggestions, pipe sizing observations, duct route optimizations, or constructability notes provided are for budgetary guidance and cost-modeling comparison only, subject to final review and formal approval by the project engineer of record.
4. Turnaround Timelines & Late-Breaking Addenda
Delivery milestones are established mutually upon project kickoff based on drawing sheet volume, trade complexity, and the client's scheduled bid submission cutoff. If late-breaking addenda, bulletins, or RFI responses are issued during an active estimate, the parties can discuss any scope or schedule impact and whether revised quantities are feasible before the bid deadline.
5. Deliverable Ownership & Intellectual Property
Upon full settlement of agreed service invoices, the client receives full, unrestricted ownership and usage rights to all customized takeoff workbooks, quantity spreadsheets, and annotated drawing files prepared for their specific bidding effort. JLG Estimating retains ownership of its underlying proprietary estimating formulas, macros, and internal preconstruction databases.
