Candid Estimating

Wow, what a turnout for yesterday’s first ever Charlottesville Architect Builder Exchange!

Many conversations, connections, and ideas were shared, and we learned there is a real gap in the local market for collaboration opportunities.

Thank you to the 50+ attendees, to Pella Windows & Doors of Virginia for sponsoring. Vault Virginia for hosting in this beautiful space. The other organizers Circle Square Cross Architecture, Commonwealth Contractors.

And our presenters Design Develop, LLC & Alexander Nicholson for sharing their process and experience on the Hark Vineyard tasting room project.

We are collaborating with a few local architect organizations and builders on something exciting… stay tuned!

What a great learning experience for Candid today. We met with Sutphin Architecture about job costing for residential projects. Who knew they’d be so funny, too!

If you are:

- a residential contractor or small/mid size builder
- a residential architect wanting early phase pricing
- you want consistent margins, not guesswork
- you don’t want to hire an in house estimator

But you want work done quickly and accurately.

Architects, eliminate significant bid variance by setting allowances with the RFP.

Architects, add cost guidance to your services.
