Frequently Asked Questions
Do you handle DSA and state education agency compliance in your estimates?
Yes. We are familiar with DSA (Division of the State Architect) requirements in California and similar state education agency requirements nationwide, including accessibility, seismic, and code compliance cost impacts.
Can you estimate bond-funded school projects?
Yes. We regularly produce estimates for bond-funded K-12 and higher education projects, formatted for public board presentation with clear cost breakdowns and contingency documentation.
Do you include prevailing wage labor rates for public education projects?
Yes. For public education projects subject to prevailing wage or Davis-Bacon requirements, we apply the appropriate wage determinations to all labor costs in the estimate.
What pricing data do you use for education estimates?
We use our proprietary pricing database built from real education project data, supplemented by live quotes from our contracted suppliers and vendors. RSMeans is reserved for government and DOB reports only.
How long does an education project estimate take?
Most education estimates are delivered in 48–72 hours. Large campus projects or multi-building bond programs may require 3–5 business days.
