A public construction estimate becomes a scope and cost summary.

This proof uses Marlin Buckley P.C. public sample general construction estimate PDF. The construction view keeps cover fields, bid documents, trade-division totals, GC fee, bonds, grand total, and final base bid as reviewable rows instead of copying the contractor detail-line proof.

What this source proves

The sample shows the visible fields, row order, totals, and review boundaries used by the filled result. Hidden business facts stay out of the output.

Source-backed estimate behavior

Download CSV

Visible estimate values are mapped, blank template fields stay separate, and missing quote fields stay blank instead of being guessed.

source evidence	construction template behavior	review boundary
Cover fields	Project number 049-01602, New Facilities, Very Reputable General Contractor, Academic Institution, Union labor, and Stipulated Sum are kept as header or instruction fields.	Client phone, email, address, project location, tax rate, signed approval, and payment schedule are not invented.
Bid documents and scope context	Plans, Specs, Addenda 1 through 4, Addendum #5, and the source authorization line become scope or condition notes.	The blank authorization sentence is not treated as an executed signature.
Sixteen trade totals	General Requirements, Site Work, Concrete, Masonry, Finishes, Mechanical, Electrical, and other CSI totals stay separate summary rows.	The construction summary does not duplicate the 1,093 contractor detail rows or flatten trade totals into one generic amount.
Final bid summary	Total direct costs $16,038,138, GC fee $1,283,051, bonds $173,212, calculated grand total $17,494,401, and final base bid $17,450,000 are kept source-backed.	Contingency stays zero because the source shows zero; permit, warranty, payment, and inspection outcomes stay blank.
