Put two to four contractor quotes side by side. Record the price, known additional costs, scope inclusions, and open questions before deciding what to clarify with each contractor.

Enter 0 only when a cost is confirmed to be zero. A blank amount means unknown. This worksheet displays entered subtotals and does not rank bids or judge whether different scopes offer equal value.

No automatic saving. Entries disappear when you reload or leave. Download a project file (JSON) to keep an editable copy. Download Excel-compatible CSV or choose Print / Save as PDF for a report.

Review the entered information

Use written quotes and confirm changes directly with the contractor. Access requirements, railroad protection, work windows, disposal, acceptance criteria, and taxes can change the scope. This prototype does not assess contractor qualifications or authorize work.

Keep the reasoning with the result.
