San Francisco Bay Area · Project Preparation
San Francisco’s residential pre-plan checklist asks for previously approved drawings when an application revises an issued permit and distinguishes existing from proposed site information for exterior work. Other Bay Area cities use their own processes.
For an alteration in San Francisco, send the earlier approved set alongside the current bid issue so retained, removed and new work can be separated. If structural or geotechnical information affects the scope, include the designer’s actual details rather than assuming a regional standard assembly. For a project elsewhere in the Bay Area, identify its municipality and supply that project’s documents; do not apply a San Francisco checklist automatically.

Remote Estimating Process
All estimating and quantity takeoff services are provided 100% remotely throughout the United States. We do not perform site visits.
When cost estimating is requested, we use RSMeans Data as one of our primary sources for location-specific material and labor pricing. Inputs are selected for the project’s city/state and adjusted as appropriate for specifications, trade requirements, quantities, construction type and information supplied by the client.
A quantity-only takeoff does not include cost pricing unless it is part of the agreed scope.
Depending on the agreed service and trade, deliverables may include a quantity takeoff / BOQ, material quantities, labor quantities or hours, drawing markups, trade breakdowns, inclusions and exclusions, and assumptions and clarifications. Material and labor costs are included when requested; 3D views are optional where applicable.
Missing or unclear information can be recorded as assumptions and exclusions. We confirm the scope and deliverables from the documents received before work begins.
Prepared using professional estimating tools including PlanSwift, Bluebeam, CostX and BuildSoft Cubit. See our service process and available support →
