I have a 90 % complete quantity take-off for a new 36-room hotel in Geelong and need a fresh set of eyes to turn it into a reliable Rough Order of Magnitude cost plan. The primary goal is to sense-check the numbers, apply current market rates, and adjust allowances so the final figure genuinely reflects the full project scope. Your review should concentrate on the big picture—making sure every trade, contingency, and prelim is represented at the right magnitude rather than line-by-line measurement checks. If you spot obvious omissions or double-ups, flag them and propose a realistic adjustment. Use whichever estimating tools or templates you are comfortable with; I only need the outputs back in an editable format (Excel preferred) plus a brief summary explaining the key changes you made and why. Deliverables: • Updated ROM cost plan (Excel) • One-page commentary outlining major adjustments, assumptions, and exclusions • Highlighted list of any scope gaps or cost risks that still need attention I will supply the existing take-off and supporting DA Approved drawings the moment we agree terms. Looking forward to your professional insight so this cost plan can move to the next approval gate with confidence.

Warm Hello! Turning your 90% take-off into a reliable, decision-ready ROM cost plan is exactly the kind of high-level validation we handle. We are a team of 62 professionals with over 9 years of experience in construction estimating and cost planning. Here's how we can help: • Sense-check your take-off against DA drawings to confirm full scope coverage • Apply current market rates (Geelong/AU benchmarks) across all major trades • Adjust prelims, contingencies, and allowances to realistic project levels • Identify omissions, overlaps, and cost risks with clear recommendations • Deliver a clean, structured Excel ROM + concise one-page summary We focus on accuracy at the macro level—ensuring the total cost reflects real-world delivery, not just quantities. Quick questions: Do you have preferred rate sources or recent tender benchmarks we should align with? Any target contingency range already expected by stakeholders? Also, what level of breakdown do you want in the ROM (trade-level or summary)?

Hi there, I noticed you need a fresh review of a 90% complete quantity take off for a 36 room hotel in Geelong, to produce a reliable Rough Order of Magnitude cost plan, focusing on big picture sense checking, applying current market rates, adjusting allowances, and flagging omissions or double ups, with deliverables including an updated ROM cost plan in Excel, a one page commentary, and a highlighted list of scope gaps or cost risks. I have extensive experience in cost planning for hospitality projects, including a recent 50 room hotel in regional Victoria where I reviewed a take off, applied current construction cost data from Rawlinsons and local subcontractor rates, identified missing provisional sums for joinery and FF&E, and adjusted preliminaries and contingencies to reflect actual site conditions, resulting in a ROM that was within 8% of final tender. I can provide an editable Excel cost plan with clear assumptions, a summary of adjustments, and a risk register. Please share your existing take off and DA drawings so I can begin. Best regards, Mobasher Reza
