Norm has been up and over the mountain in construction, and knows from experience what it's like to be the subtrade, the builder, and the client. Our estimates are intuitively laid out and have easy sections for you to monitor and adjust to your client's changes. They're so easy to use that even your clients would like seeing them — especially on large projects where you send different phases at a time
Compass estimates are naturally flowing and clearly labelled for you to quickly see it all, coinciding with natural phases of construction: Main Level floor system, Main Level walls, Main Level stairs, Second Level floor system, Second Level walls, Roof, Deck 1, Deck 2, Patio roof, Entry roof, etc.
Compass makes it easy for clients who change siding preferences. We give the total siding footage, then break it down to gables and walls. Then it's broken down even more, such as lap siding footage, board and batten footage, stucco footage, and so on. We often break it down even more, such as front gables, side gables, and back gables, depending on the print
Compass likes to provide window trim information even when the print doesn't call for it. When your client suddenly wants window trim after saying they didn't, you don't need the estimator to look at the print again and the time that takes. Or the cost. And your clients will be impressed with your quick response
Sections of the estimate can be easily juggled for a final price that will please your clients
Compass Estimates has vast professional experience that allows seamless adapting to your preferences while providing the little things of quality service which others don't — things like a quick note on a certain aspect of the print, which will give the client a better finished product. This is a great way to build quality, lasting customers, through your personal care
Norm started in construction in 1988. He began estimating for lumber yards in 2000 and had 21 yards in WA, OR, CA, and NV, giving 2-day service. He changed gears and became a general contractor for Fish & Wildlife, Forestry, Parks, Google, and many private clients. He "retired" early then went to Africa, and now he's back and done having adventures, ready to serve you!
At Compass Estimates, we estimate for framing, siding, and roofing on a wide range of projects, including residential and commercial construction, renovations, additions, and decks.
You can expect your estimate within 1 - 2 business days and we don't charge extra for Rush service.
