Frequently Asked Questions

Do you prepare Independent Government Estimates (IGE)?

Yes. We prepare IGEs for federal agencies, military commands, and state procurement offices — formatted to meet federal acquisition regulation (FAR) requirements.

Do you apply Davis-Bacon prevailing wage rates?

Yes. For all federally funded and most state-funded public projects, we apply the appropriate Davis-Bacon or state prevailing wage determinations to all labor costs in the estimate.

When do you use RSMeans data?

We use RSMeans exclusively for government, DOB, and official cost reports where RSMeans data is specifically required. For all other contractor estimates, we use our proprietary pricing database and live supplier quotes.

Can you produce estimates for public bid documents?

Yes. We produce estimates formatted for public bid documents, including detailed quantity takeoffs, unit price schedules, and bid alternates — ready for public advertisement.

How long does a government project estimate take?

Most government estimates are delivered in 48–72 hours. Complex federal or multi-phase projects may require 3–5 business days.
