## Selling Scope
|
|
|
|
When an estimator provides a proposal,
|
|
they are said to be "selling" the scope of work.
|
|
|
|
What any salesperson _sells_
|
|
and what the customer _receives_
|
|
are potentially very different.
|
|
|
|
* customer interpretation of scope (most favorable to customer)
|
|
* contractor's intended meaning (most favorable to contractor)
|
|
* professional legal interpretation of scope (somewhere in between)
|
|
|
