Compare an engineer's estimate to your quantities

See every line where the engineer's number is not yours, sorted by what it costs you.

Steps

1. Upload the estimate. Excel reads instantly; a PDF takes 15–30 seconds.
2. Review what was read — item numbers, descriptions, to-date quantities — then save.
3. The comparison lists Disagreements first, biggest dollar impact at the top, with your quantity, the engineer's, the difference and the net. Matching items are below.

What it affects

• Nothing. The comparison is a review: fix an entry if you were wrong, or take the list to the engineer if they were.

Good to know

• Items on your scope that the engineer left off show as missing, which is usually the first thing to raise with them.
