Get the 2026 Estimate Standardization Checklist
Most paving contractors lose hours every week rebuilding bids from scratch, only to worry if they missed a line item or miscalculated a margin. If your estimating feels like a "high-stress" reactive process, you are likely leaving money on the table.
Download the Field Toolkit: Estimate Standardization Checklist to audit your bidding process and transition to a system that produces fast, accurate, and consistently profitable bids.
What’s Inside This Checklist?
This isn't just a to-do list—it is a three-phase blueprint to operationalize your estimating.
• Phase 1: Centralize Your Costs: Learn how to lock in 2026 pricing for asphalt, aggregate, and tack coat so your "Source of Truth" is always current.
• Phase 2: Build Reusable Templates: Stop starting from zero. Create master templates for common jobs like Residential Driveway Overlays and Commercial Parking Lot Repairs.
• Phase 3: Kill the Bottlenecks: Identify the root causes of slow bids and implement "Template Logic" to hit a 10-to-15 minute proposal target.
Audit Your "Season Readiness"
The toolkit includes a built-in scoring system to rank your business:
• 0-10 (Reactive): High-stress bidding where every quote is a manual rebuild.
• 11-20 (Transitional): Some structure exists, but consistency is lacking.
• 21-30 (Standardized): Reusable templates and centralized costs enable scale and speed.
