Wisenbaker Estimating Manual Estimating Manual About EstimatingOverviewWelcome to Estimating! The Estimating departming is driven by a Quality Control Process System consisting of 4Phases. A entire plan estimate, from start to finish, goes through this phase system. The phases are:Phase 1. ValidationA Validator reviews request forms/issues received from Account Managers and determines if all the necessaryinformation provided is in order to complete an estimating issue. A Validator also reviews the spec sheets and floorplans to ensure that there are no items needing to be questioned that could delay the estimating process.Phase 2. Base PlanAn Estimator in Phase II (Jr. Estimator) creates the background in Photoshop, uploads the background into VEO,draws the base plan flooring & walls, drops in fixtures, draws in counter-tops, estimates blinds, and create the walltile numbers using the wall tile tool.Phase 3. Options & ExportAn Estimator in Phase III reviews drawings completed by phase II and continue the estimate by creatingArchitectural Option Areas on the base plan. These areas are then copied over the architectural options and editedto reflect changes occurring in each AO. The AO’s are maintenanced for export and all AO combinations arevalidated for accuracy then exported to Echelon Estimating.Phase 4. Quality ControlAn Estimator in Phase IV reviews all notes pertaining to the issue or plan, reviews the estimate to ensure that alllisted options are accounted for. This includes any \"to ceiling\" options, and etc. Ensures all labor lines are accountedfor and are correct. If something needs to be corrected, they send it back to the phase that person missed.
