Why it pays for itself

On a recent $63,000 tile bid round, leveling caught an arithmetic error in the bidder's own total and an entire exterior scope that was priced but never documented.

Those are the discrepancies that surface six months into a job as change-order disputes. A flat-fee review before award costs less than one hour of the argument. Current work includes a $2M+ high-end residential rebuild in Pacific Palisades. See a full sample deliverable →
