the APE

We spend a LOT of time at the beginning of the estimate/proposal process because, honestly, it is the MOST important step in building a lasting relationship with our clients.  As our client you can feel confident that your Contours’ team truly understands the needs of your property/project, and by using our industry-leading Advanced Process Estimator, we can unleash “The APE” and accurately calculate your project on a cost-based analysis, accounting for site specific resources and our task efficiency modeling.   

Every proposal we deliver follows this very important path:

❏ On site Evaluation and/or Plans Review 

❏ Data Collection | Measurements + Vegetation Counts + Resource Reviews

❏ Importing Collected Data into "The APE" 

❏ "The APE" generates a draft Resource + Cost Estimate

❏ The Project Undergoes an Operational Review with Operations Manager + Owner

❏ The Review ensures that Human + Equipment + Material Resources match the project scope

❏ The Draft proposal is amended as needed and sent back to "The APE"

❏ The Final Proposal is generated by "The APE" and sent over to the client for review
