Arizona Tribune - McCormick Systems Releases New Construction Estimating Checklist Article for MEP Contractors

Whether it's a missed hanger allowance, an unpriced permit fee or three hours of supervision per floor that never made it into the bid, small gaps like these can quietly erode a project's margin before the job even gets going. The solution is to build a solid estimating checklist, so nothing falls through the cracks.

The new article, "Am I Missing Anything? An Estimating Checklist for Electrical, Plumbing & Mechanical Contractors," outlines what a complete estimating checklist should include - from first review to final submission - covering:

• How reviewing the full plan set before takeoff helps catch scope gaps

• The materials and quantities most often left off a bid

• Why standard labor unit guides assume ideal conditions

• The project costs that don't appear on a drawing but always show up on the invoice

• How a final pre-submission checklist ensure contractors are protected

After reading, MEP contractors will see how a consistent process, backed by the right bidding software - can help catch discrepancies while there's still time to fix them.
