Basements estimate FAQ
Should egress windows be included?
If a bedroom is planned, egress requirements may apply. Add egress work as its own group or note it in Exclusions.
Will my customer see my costs?
No. The proposal shows only customer prices, in the level of detail you choose. Internal costs, markup, margin, and notes never appear.
Do the suggested items include prices?
No. Suggestions help you remember what belongs in the bid. You enter your own costs, so nothing is priced with made-up numbers.
