When to use this

Use this at the start of pricing a general contracting job, before you write a proposal — it gives you a planning number to sanity-check against a full takeoff.

Example project

A kitchen remodel with 100 scope points of demo, framing, and finish work at a $75/hr labor rate produces a planning estimate you can refine once materials are priced out.

Limitations

This is a planning estimate, not a final quote — it does not replace a real material takeoff or site visit.
Labor and material rates are defaults you should adjust for your market and crew.
Doesn't account for permits, site access issues, or unknowns discovered during work.
