PROJECT PLANNING & COORDINATION
Estimates and proposals
Develop pricing for a defined construction scope and present the assumptions behind it. Distinguish a preliminary budget from a proposal based on selected materials and confirmed quantities.
START WITH THE DETAILS
What goes into
the work.
Describe the deliverable and the project it supports. Upload existing documents and identify the decisions or deadlines that the work must inform.
Typical scope to confirm
- Organize the scope and available quantities
- Identify allowances, exclusions and unresolved pricing
- Prepare the agreed estimate or proposal format
Make it specific to your project.
Enter the amount of work and choose the details you know. Your choices follow you into the Project Builder.
SCOPE-SPECIFIC PRICING
Your scope sets the price.
Estimates and proposals with deliverables and effort defined in writing A numeric range is withheld until the scope and relevant costs are known.
A planning reference for this service only. Selections, local labor, access, quantities and existing conditions need Coastal’s review. Do not add overlapping whole-project and component ranges.

PERMIT PLANNING
Usually cosmetic work
Planning or coordination alone does not authorize construction. The resulting building or trade work still needs its own address-specific permit review and required approvals.
- The underlying construction or trade scope
- Investigative work that opens or alters a structure
ENGINEERING & DESIGN
Engineering is not usually needed
This planning task does not itself include an engineering design. Coordinate a qualified engineer if the underlying project or reviewing authority requires one.
- A separate structural or engineering design deliverable
Confirm requirements with the city or county responsible for the property before work begins. The address, exact scope and adopted code determine the final requirements.
