Schools Punish Soft Estimates Twice

Once at bid day, where public openings expose every number, and again in service, where corridors full of students find every wall that should have been impact-rated. Education takeoffs need both precision and the paperwork: quantities per wall type plus the certified-payroll-ready labor structure that Davis-Bacon and state prevailing wage projects require.

  • Impact and abuse-rated board at corridors, gyms and commons
  • High walls at gymnasiums with stud gauge and bracing checked
  • Acoustic assemblies at music rooms, auditoriums and libraries
  • Tackable and specialty wall surfaces where specified
  • Security ceilings and hard lids at specific program areas
  • Shaft walls and rated stair enclosures per life safety plans
  • Prevailing wage and Davis-Bacon labor cost breakdowns
  • Alternates and unit prices carried exactly as the bid form asks

Bid Forms Are Not Suggestions

Public bids fail on formalities: an alternate priced into base bid, a unit price missing, an allowance ignored. Our education takeoffs mirror the bid form - base bid, alternates and unit prices as separate deliverables - so your number drops into the form without surgery at 11 PM.

Summer Schedules, Phased Occupancy

Renovation work in occupied schools compresses into summers and breaks. Where the phasing plan splits the work, our quantities split with it, so your crew loading and material staging match the calendar the district actually enforces.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you prepare certified payroll-ready labor breakdowns?

We provide labor hour and classification breakdowns structured for prevailing wage bids; your rates and certified payroll process plug into them directly.

Can you price bid alternates separately?

Always - each alternate is a separate quantity package matching the bid form language, never blended into base bid.

Do you handle charter and private school work too?

Yes - same building types, usually without the public bid formalities, which typically shortens turnaround.
