What are the common problems with estimates?

• Inaccurate line items
• Unnecessary charges
• Removing and replacing items that were not effected
• Inexperienced project managers
• Missing important line items that will result in extra charges during construction

Why are estimates and invoices usually overpriced?

Construction companies charge for extra line items that are not necessary to increase the final total of the estimate, therefore, increasing their profit. They are required to meet certain profit margins and to do so they may over charge and include unnecessary items. Commonly a specific line item will include material, labour, installation, dump fees, etc and then there will be a separate line item for one or all of the charges that were included in original charge. Adjusters are not familiar with what is included in each specific line item and will not catch the extra charges. Evaluations has encountered estimates that were overpriced by more than $100,000.
