Terms of Service
Effective Date: November 2026 · Professional Estimating LLC
1. Scope of Estimating & Takeoff Services
Professional Estimating LLC provides professional construction quantity takeoff and cost estimating consulting services. Our deliverables typically include itemized Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and color-coded marked-up PDF drawings based strictly on client-provided design documents, architectural/structural/MEP drawing sets, and project specifications.
2. Estimator Role & Contractor Responsibility
Our estimates, material takeoffs, and labor hour calculations represent professional technical opinions prepared with standard industry care and dual-estimator peer review. However, because field conditions, contractor overhead, union agreements, site logistics, and supply chain material price fluctuations remain under the direct control of the bidding contractor, the client maintains ultimate responsibility for their final bid submission, including markups, contingencies, and contractual tender prices.
3. Currency & Payment Terms
All fees quoted on ca.professionalestimatingllc.com are in Canadian Dollars (CAD / CA$). Payment terms are established on each flat-fee proposal (credit card, bank EFT, wire transfer, or corporate invoice for pre-approved contracting accounts). Services commence upon proposal authorization.
4. Addenda & Revision Policy
We understand that Canadian construction tenders frequently involve late addenda. Minor revisions, specification clarifications, or single-sheet addenda received during our estimating process are incorporated at no additional charge. For major structural changes, floor additions, or complete redesigns issued late in the tender period, we provide an expedited flat-fee quote before proceeding.
5. Ownership of Deliverables
Upon payment of the agreed service fee, the client owns full rights to the delivered Microsoft Excel workbooks, quantity spreadsheets, and PDF markup drawings for their internal bidding and project execution purposes. All files are delivered unlocked and fully editable.
6. Governing Law
These terms are governed by commercial standards and applicable Canadian and North American business practices. For questions regarding our terms or project agreements, contact our legal and contract desk at info@professionalestimatingllc.com.
