What is a detailed estimate?
A Detailed Estimate is a comprehensive take-off or Bill of Quantities (BOQ), incorporating subcontractor and supplier pricing based on detailed scopes of work prepared by MJL Estimating.
MJL Estimating works closely with your selected trades and suppliers, issuing detailed BOQs and scopes of work to obtain accurate and consistent pricing aligned with the project requirements, ensuring the estimate reflects how the project is intended to be constructed.
