We create estimates and takeoffs based on the best information we have at the time. However, these estimates may not always be completely accurate. Things like changes in the project, material prices, or labor availability can cause the final cost to be different from the estimate.
Our estimates are only approximations. They are not fixed prices or contracts. The actual cost of your project may change due to factors we cannot predict. We recommend checking the estimate regularly and being ready for possible changes as the project moves forward.
Changes in Project Scope
If the project changes after we give the estimate, the final cost may also change. Adding more work or changing materials will affect the price. If there are any changes, we will give you an updated estimate. But the final cost may still be different.
It is important to tell us as soon as you can about any changes to the project. Not sharing changes with us could lead to delays or unexpected costs. We encourage you to stay in touch with us throughout the project so the estimate stays accurate.
Limitations of Our Service
We give general estimates based on the information you provide. We cannot guarantee that everything would be included in the estimate especially in cases where the information is ambiguous or quite incomplete. Our cost estimates are intended to help you get an approximate cost but might not include all aspects of your project.
Remember that it is your responsibility to make sure that every other detail in the project is correct. Further, one must get proper quotes from the contractors, suppliers or any other constructor to sum up all cost implications. The estimations provided here should not be your only source of cost information since they should be used for project preparation.
Liability and Responsibility
We always endeavor to provide accurate estimates, but sometimes there may be a mistake. You are required to review the estimate and make sure that the estimate is accurate. This means that any loss, delay, or damage that might occur from the use of the estimates provided on this website is not our responsibility.
Although we do our best to provide the most accurate estimates, you shall not hold us responsible for any issues arising from incorrect or incomplete estimates. We recommend that you use the information we provide here as a starting point, but verify it with other professionals if at all it is accurate.
Local Conditions in Hawaii
Our estimates are based on standard practices, but the cost in Hawaii can be higher or different. Shipping costs, material availability, and labor rates are usually higher in Hawaii than in other places. These factors may change, and they might affect your final costs.
Building projects in Hawaii are sometimes more challenging. Material, permit, and labor costs may differ based on location. Although we attempt to include local conditions in our estimates, factors such as weather, local laws, or shipping delays may impact the final cost and schedule of your project.
Third-Party Contractors and Suppliers
Our estimates do not include third-party contractor and supplier costs. All of our prices are just estimations based on general market trends. Actual prices for such contractors or suppliers may differ from our estimations. Consult them directly to be assured that their prices fit into your budget.
We are not liable for the prices or services offered by third-party companies. If the prices from contractors or suppliers are different from our estimates, you have to contact those companies directly. Our role is to give you a general idea of costs, not to guarantee prices from other businesses.
Final Decision and Agreement
The final decisions on cost, details, and timeline of your project are yours. Our estimates are a guide, but you must confirm everything with contractors, suppliers, and other parties involved. Any agreements you make with others are not part of our estimates.
Before starting a project, we recommend that all parties make a formal agreement. This can include contractors and suppliers, among others. In this way, all the parties are well aware of the details, and thus the project will run smoothly without extra costs or delays.
