FINISHING CARPENTRY — REMOTE ESTIMATOR STARTER PACK
Estimators.io | October 26, 2026

1. FIRST-WEEK CHECKLIST
Day 1: Confirm role, scope, region, time zone, software access and named reviewer. Record drawing/specification revisions and document permissions.
Day 2: Read door schedules, interior elevations, millwork details and finish specifications. Write a scope map and questions log before measuring.
Day 3: Take off trim by profile, doors by schedule type and millwork by clearly defined unit. Track hardware, finishing, installation and supplied-by-others items separately.
Day 4: Add quoted or approved pricing, source dates, labour basis, assumptions and exclusions. Review Confirm field measurements, shop drawings, finishes, hardware supply, delivery and installation access. Mark custom details needing a supplier quote rather than using a generic allowance silently.
Day 5: Reconcile schedule counts, verify profile lengths and review the difference between supply, finishing and installation scopes.

2. SAMPLE ASSIGNMENT
A corridor with three door types, two trim profiles and a revised built-in unit. Use a training set or authorised redacted drawings. Submit marked plans, a quantity workbook, assumptions, exclusions, RFIs and a revision summary. No invented rates or client claims.

3. SCOPE CHECKLIST
