Independent contractor quote review, estimate analysis, and scope auditing for condo boards, property managers, and commercial building owners across the Greater Toronto Area.
Never overpay or get caught off-guard by hidden change orders. Trade estimates are rarely structured the same way. The lowest upfront sticker price frequently hides critical scope exclusions, missing WSIB clearances, and capped allowances that trigger thousands in unexpected extras once work begins.
Our flat-fee quote audit costs less than 1% of your total project budget—delivering an instant return on investment by exposing hidden costs, insulating board liability, and providing clear, defensible evaluation packages for your stakeholders.
In this real-world trade estimate review, a $142,000 "cheapest bid" actually cost more than the recommended $168,500 estimate once exclusions and allowance caps were factored in.
