Commercial Painting Estimates: Phases, Access and Clear Scope

Commercial estimates are read by people comparing three bids line by line. Clarity wins.

Scope by Area

List each area: lobby, hallways, offices, restrooms, stairwells. Give each its square feet, coats and sheen.

Phases and Timing

If the work happens over several nights or weekends, say so.

Access and Requirements

Note after-hours requirements, keys and alarm codes, parking, and any insurance certificates the client needs.

Products and Colors

Name the product line and colors.

Approval and Follow-Up

Send it as a link. Commercial decisions take time, so follow-ups matter. When approved, phases go on the Waiting List.
