SERVICES
Commercial Flooring Pre-Construction Services
Estimating is part of the service. Scope clarity is the value. Bid protection is the objective.
Compass Global helps commercial flooring contractors understand the documents behind the number before the bid becomes the contract.
Our services combine professional estimating, sheet-tied document analysis, and structured pre-construction reporting to identify the conditions that may affect scope, pricing, qualifications, RFIs, and margin protection.

How We Support the Bid- Three Layers of SUPPORT
Professional Estimating
Quantities Built by Experienced Commercial Flooring Estimators
Every strong bid begins with a reliable take-off.
Our estimators review the provided drawings, schedules, specifications, and related bid documents to produce project-specific flooring and tile quantities using professional estimating workflows.
Services May Include
- Commercial flooring and tile take-offs
- Finish identification
- Recommended order quantities
- Pattern and sequencing review
- Room-by-room quantity development
- Addendum quantity revisions
- Shop-drawing support
- Project-specific estimating notes
Document Intelligence
Understand the Conditions Behind the Quantity
A quantity alone does not tell the contractor whether the scope is complete, coordinated, or commercially defensible.
Compass Global reviews the documents behind the take-off to identify the requirements, contradictions, omissions, and unresolved conditions that may affect the flooring bid.
Reviews May Include
- Scope-of-work analysis
- Finish-schedule review
- Alternates review
- Attic-stock and extra-material requirements
- Contradictions between drawings and specifications
- Scope gaps and undefined responsibilities
- Slab-condition review
- Mud-bed and slab-depression conditions
- Stair and transition conditions
- Tub and shower conditions
- Raised-access-floor conditions
- Waterproofing and crack-isolation references
- Addendum, bulletin, and ASI review
Bid Governance
Convert Unresolved Conditions into Actionable Bid Positions
Identifying a problem is not enough.
The contractor needs a documented path for addressing it before bid submission.
Compass Global helps organize unresolved conditions into structured reporting designed to support pricing decisions, qualification language, RFI development, and commercial review.
Services May Include
- Risk-assessment reporting
- RFI conversion
- Qualification support
- Addendum impact review
- Unresolved-condition tracking
- Scope-responsibility clarification
- Contract-administration review
- Pre-construction intelligence reporting
- Independent pressure-testing of internally completed take-offs
CHOOSE THE LEVEL OF SUPPORT YOU NEED
Full Estimating and Pre-Construction Review
For contractors who need a complete bid-support package.
Includes professional estimating and the applicable document-driven reporting required to identify bid-critical conditions.
Best for: new invitations to bid, limited internal capacity, complex projects, and contractors seeking a stronger pre-bid review process.
Independent Document-Risk Review
For contractors who already completed the take-off but want to pressure-test the bid.
Compass Global reviews the provided bid documents to identify contradictions, scope gaps, hidden requirements, and unresolved conditions that may affect the number.
Best for: internal estimating teams, high-risk projects, unfamiliar clients, incomplete document sets, and projects with compressed bid schedules.
Addendum and Revision Review
For contractors who need to understand what changed before the bid is submitted.
We review addenda, bulletins, ASIs, and revised documents to identify flooring-related additions, deletions, revisions, and scope movement.
Best for: late revisions, multiple addenda, post-bid scope changes, and projects with evolving documents.
Contract-Administration Review
For contractors reviewing commercial obligations beyond the take-off.
Where sample contracts or final contracts are provided, Compass Global reviews bid-relevant administrative conditions such as supervision requirements, platform obligations, insurance conditions, notice chains, closeout requirements, and unresolved flow-down exposure.
Best for: complex clients, negotiated awards, unfamiliar general contractors, and projects with significant administrative requirements.

Built for Contractors Who Need More Than Capacity
We support contractors who need stronger visibility into the commercial flooring bid before award.
That may include producing the take-off.
It may include independently reviewing an estimate prepared internally.
It may include identifying contradictions, unresolved scope, or document conditions that should be clarified or qualified.
The value is not simply additional production capacity.
The value is a more defensible bid position.

It supports a structured, estimator-reviewed process designed to identify inconsistencies, unresolved requirements, scope exposure, and document conditions that may be overlooked when a project is treated as a quantity exercise alone.
SQUARES AI™ does not replace the estimator.
It strengthens the review surrounding the estimate.
