The deliverable
An Excel workbook organized by CSI division. Every line shows the drawing or schedule reference, quantity, waste factor, unit, material cost, manhours and labor cost. A summary sheet rolls the divisions up and carries overhead, profit, insurance and contingency. You can hand it to a supplier for pricing or plug in your own rates.

Frequently asked
Do you follow finish tags?
Yes. Every line references the finish schedule tag, so submittals and orders map straight to the estimate.
How do you handle pattern waste?
Waste factors are a visible column on every line, adjusted for pattern repeats and plank direction, never hidden inside unit prices.
