09 / FAQ
Partner Program questions.
Clear answers to the questions contractors typically have before establishing an ongoing estimating relationship.
What is the L&G Partner Program?
The L&G Partner Program is an ongoing estimating relationship designed for contractors and construction companies that regularly need professional estimating support. It provides ongoing access to L&G's estimating capabilities for a predictable monthly cost.
How much does the Partner Program cost?
The Partner Program is $1,350 per month. The monthly partnership is designed around ongoing estimating support rather than a traditional one-project-at-a-time relationship.
Who is the Partner Program designed for?
It is designed for general contractors, subcontractors, home builders, remodelers, developers and other construction professionals who regularly prepare bids and need dependable estimating support.
What is included in the Partner Program?
Depending on project scope, support can include detailed quantity takeoffs, labor and material pricing, trade and multi-trade estimating, CSI organization, color-coded markups, editable Excel workbooks, assumptions and exclusions, addendum review, consultation and quality-control review.
Can L&G estimate multiple trades?
Yes. L&G can provide estimating support across multiple construction trades and CSI divisions, depending on project requirements.
Can you estimate an entire project?
Yes. Full-project estimating can include multiple trades, labor, materials, equipment, subcontractor costs, general conditions and other applicable cost components. Large or unusually complex projects may require a separate project-specific proposal.
Does the Partner Program have a published estimate or project limit?
The Partner Program is presented as an ongoing estimating relationship rather than a published count-based package. Project scope and complexity are reviewed as part of the normal workflow, and unusually large, complex or specially accelerated work may be quoted separately.
How accurate are your estimates?
L&G's estimating process is built around a 99% accuracy target supported by detailed quantity takeoffs, cost analysis, scope review and quality-control procedures. Actual results can be affected by the completeness and quality of drawings, specifications, addenda, project information and pricing data.
How quickly can I receive an estimate?
For qualifying estimating assignments, the standard target is 48 hours after the required project information has been received and the scope has been confirmed. Complex projects may require additional time.
What if my bid deadline is less than 48 hours?
Tell us the deadline when submitting the project. Where capacity and project complexity permit, rush estimating may be available for an additional fee. We confirm the available turnaround and applicable rush pricing before proceeding.
Can you work with our Excel estimating template?
Yes. Where practical, L&G can work with client-provided estimating formats and templates so the final deliverable fits naturally into your existing workflow.
Can you review addenda and revised drawings?
Yes. Addenda and revised drawing sets can be reviewed as part of the estimating process so significant scope changes can be identified and incorporated when applicable.
What happens when a project is unusually large or complex?
L&G reviews the scope before estimating begins. If a project requires a substantially expanded level of estimating, coordination or turnaround beyond the normal Partner workflow, we will discuss the requirements and provide a separate project-specific proposal when appropriate.
Can L&G become our outsourced estimating department?
Yes. For companies requiring a deeper level of ongoing support, L&G offers Enterprise Estimating with the option to develop a dedicated estimator or dedicated estimating team around the company's workflow.
Can we get a dedicated estimator?
For Enterprise engagements, L&G can develop a dedicated estimator or dedicated estimating team arrangement based on your workload, project types, workflow and desired level of support.
