Built for
accuracy.
A leveling sheet is only useful if you can defend every number on it. Three rules make sure you can.
Every adjustment is sourced.
Each addback is tied to a comparable, your project history, or a published benchmark.
Nothing is assumed.
Missing scope is confirmed with the bidder and recorded; unresolved items are clearly flagged.
Every result is reviewed.
A qualified person checks each leveling matrix before it reaches you.
