Budget Workbook
Build an exterior-cleaning allowance you can defend.
Define the surfaces, condition, methods, controls, unknowns, and acceptance requirements every bidder should price. The workbook avoids invented unit rates and universal cleaning intervals.
- A measured-scope checklist for surfaces, conditions, access, controls, and finish
- The gross-facade takeoff formula, with clear limits on how it may be used
- A like-for-like bid matrix for drone-supported and conventional methods
- An allowance worksheet that separates base scope, unknowns, alternates, and contingency
- A condition-based follow-up planner and paste-ready budget language
Five pages. Download directly and share it with the people who own the scope, risk, and budget.
Why This Exists
A useful allowance makes uncertainty visible
A single square-foot number can hide different surfaces, access plans, controls, finish standards, exclusions, and owner responsibilities. Build the allowance from defined elements, then replace assumptions with accepted project documents before award.
Choose "Budget a future project" to request a planning scope and price for the draft. State the budget deadline and assumptions you need documented so the response can be useful to your planning process.
