How this check works

You check the estimate and report which details are recorded. The tool counts those choices and checks the arithmetic you enter; it does not read the estimate, judge a fair price, assess contractor qualifications, or establish code compliance.

No applicable items checked; no percentage assigned.

Method: each recorded item counts once. Divide recorded items by recorded plus confirmed missing items. Unknown and not-applicable answers are excluded. The score describes your supplied answers.
