Construction Cost Estimator

Produce a structured construction cost estimate: quantity takeoff, material + labor + equipment pricing, markups, and a defensible contingency, organized by CSI division or trade - for bids, budgets, and value-engineering. Use when the user wants to "estimate a construction project", "do a takeoff", "price this scope/job", "budget for a build/ renovation", "bid this work", or "where can we cut cost". Estimating method and structure; prices must be localized.
