3. Our Services
Widers Engineering Services LLC provides construction estimating, quantity takeoff, cost estimating, engineering consulting, and related services.
The exact scope of Services will depend on the proposal, quotation, statement of work, or other written agreement provided for the particular project.

- Construction cost estimating
- Bid and pricing support
- Labor and material cost analysis
- Commercial construction estimating
- Residential construction estimating
- Construction consulting
- Engineering consulting
- Engineering calculations or analysis
- Project-related technical support
- Other estimating, engineering, or consulting services agreed upon in writing
We reserve the right to determine whether a requested project falls within our scope of Services and whether additional fees or information are required.
4. Estimates and Quantity Takeoffs
Unless expressly stated otherwise in writing, all estimates, quantity takeoffs, pricing information, and cost analyses provided by Widers Engineering Services LLC are intended to assist the Client with budgeting, planning, bidding, procurement, or decision-making.
An estimate is not a guarantee of the final cost of construction.
Actual project costs may differ from our estimate because of factors including, but not limited to:
- Contractor and subcontractor pricing
- Supplier and vendor pricing
- Geographic location
- Market conditions
- Material availability
- Labor availability
- Changes in scope
- Construction methods
- Installation requirements
- Site conditions
- Design changes
- Unforeseen conditions
- Taxes, permits, fees, or other governmental requirements
- Escalation in material or labor costs
- Information that was unavailable or not provided to us
Unless specifically agreed otherwise in writing, Widers Engineering Services LLC does not guarantee that an estimate will match a contractor’s final bid, actual construction cost, or project budget.
5. Client-Provided Information
The quality and accuracy of our Services may depend on information supplied by the Client.
The Client is responsible for providing complete, accurate, and reasonably legible project information, including, when applicable:
- Architectural drawings
- Structural drawings
- MEP drawings
- Specifications
- Civil drawings
- Project schedules
- Addenda
- Scope documents
- Existing-condition information
- Site information
- Vendor information
- Other documents necessary to perform the requested Services
We are not responsible for errors, omissions, discrepancies, or inaccurate results caused by incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, illegible, or conflicting information supplied by the Client or third parties.
If material project information changes after work has begun, additional Services or fees may be required.
6. Scope Changes and Additional Work
Our quoted fee is based on the scope of work described in the applicable proposal, quotation, statement of work, or written agreement.
Requests for additional work may result in additional charges.
Additional work may include, without limitation:
- Revised drawings or plans
- Additional estimating divisions
- Additional trades
- Additional project areas
- Significant scope changes
- Re-estimating after substantial design changes
- Additional revisions
- Expedited turnaround
- Additional meetings or consultations
- Work requiring information that was not originally provided
Where reasonably practicable, we will notify the Client of additional charges before performing substantial additional work.
7. Turnaround Times
Any delivery date or turnaround time provided by Widers Engineering Services LLC is an estimate unless expressly guaranteed in a written agreement.
Turnaround time may depend on:
- Project size and complexity
- Completeness of project documents
- Client responsiveness
- Revisions or changes
- Additional information requests
- Workload and scheduling
- Unforeseen technical issues
We will make reasonable efforts to meet agreed delivery dates but will not be responsible for delays caused by circumstances outside our reasonable control or by the Client’s failure to provide required information.
Unless expressly agreed otherwise, the Client remains responsible for ensuring that our delivery schedule provides sufficient time for the Client’s own bidding, permitting, submission, or construction deadlines.
8. Bid Deadlines and Submission Deadlines
The Client is solely responsible for determining its own bid, proposal, procurement, permit, or submission deadlines.
Widers Engineering Services LLC is not responsible for a Client’s missed bid deadline, lost business opportunity, rejected proposal, expired pricing, or other consequence resulting from the Client’s failure to allow adequate time for our Services, review, revisions, or submission.
We strongly recommend that Clients request Services sufficiently in advance of any deadline.
9. Fees and Payment
Fees for Services will be communicated through a proposal, quotation, invoice, statement of work, or other written communication.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing:
- Work may begin after the required payment or deposit has been received.
- The Client is responsible for paying all agreed fees.
- Additional Services may be subject to additional charges.
- Payment obligations are not dependent upon whether the Client ultimately receives a contract, wins a bid, obtains financing, or proceeds with construction.
We may suspend or stop work on a project if an invoice becomes overdue.
10. Cancellations and Refunds
Because our Services may involve substantial professional and project-specific work immediately after an order is accepted, cancellation and refund eligibility may depend on the status of the project.
If the Client requests cancellation before work has begun, we may provide a refund subject to any applicable payment-processing fees or other expressly agreed charges.
Once substantial work has begun, payments may be non-refundable to the extent permitted by applicable law because resources, labor, and professional time have been committed to the project.
If a specific proposal, invoice, or service agreement contains a different cancellation or refund policy, that project-specific policy will control.
Refund requests should be submitted promptly and will be evaluated based on the circumstances of the project and applicable agreement.
11. Revisions and Corrections
We will make reasonable efforts to correct errors attributable to our Services when notified within a reasonable period after delivery.
Corrections resulting from our own error may be addressed without additional charge, subject to the original scope of work.
Changes resulting from revised drawings, changed project requirements, new information, client-requested modifications, or changes in scope may be considered additional Services and may incur additional fees.
12. Engineering Services
Certain Services provided by Widers Engineering Services LLC may constitute professional engineering services.
Where professional engineering services are provided, the applicable scope, responsible professional, jurisdiction, deliverables, and professional requirements will be established through the applicable project agreement and governing law.
Unless expressly stated in writing, construction estimates, quantity takeoffs, pricing analyses, consulting materials, and other estimating deliverables should not be interpreted as stamped, sealed, or certified engineering documents.
Nothing on our Website creates an engineering-client relationship for a particular project unless such a relationship is established through an applicable written engagement or agreement.
Where applicable, engineering documents requiring professional review, approval, signature, seal, or certification will be handled in accordance with applicable professional and legal requirements.
13. No Guarantee of Project Outcome
We do not guarantee that use of our Services will result in:
- Winning a construction bid
- Winning a contract
- Obtaining financing
- Obtaining permits
- Achieving a particular profit margin
- Staying within a particular construction budget
- Obtaining a particular construction cost
- Completing a project within a particular schedule
- Achieving any particular business or financial result
Our Services are intended to provide professional assistance and information based on the scope and information available to us.
14. Professional Judgment and Limitations
Our Services are performed based on the information, documents, assumptions, standards, methodologies, and project requirements applicable to the engagement.
Construction and engineering projects involve inherent uncertainties. Conditions discovered after our Services are performed may affect quantities, costs, designs, schedules, or recommendations.
The Client remains responsible for final project decisions, contractor selection, procurement decisions, construction means and methods, site safety, and other matters outside the agreed scope of our Services.
15. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Widers Engineering Services LLC retains ownership of its pre-existing methodologies, templates, processes, systems, tools, software, know-how, and other intellectual property used to perform the Services.
Subject to full payment of all amounts due, the Client receives a limited right to use the final Deliverables for the specific project for which they were prepared.
The Client may not sell, sublicense, reproduce for unrelated projects, distribute, publish, or commercially exploit our proprietary materials, templates, methodologies, or Deliverables beyond the agreed project purpose without our prior written consent, except where such restriction is prohibited by applicable law.
16. Client Materials

By submitting documents to us, the Client represents that it has the necessary rights and authorization to provide those materials to us for purposes of performing the Services.
The Client grants us permission to use submitted materials solely as reasonably necessary to perform the agreed Services.
17. Confidentiality
We will use reasonable measures to protect confidential project information provided to us and will not knowingly disclose such information to third parties except as reasonably necessary to perform the Services, comply with legal obligations, protect our rights, or as otherwise authorized by the Client.
If the Client requires a formal Non-Disclosure Agreement (“NDA”), the parties may enter into a separate written NDA.
A separate NDA will control in the event of a conflict regarding confidentiality obligations.

Our Services may rely on third-party software, databases, pricing information, mapping systems, reference materials, vendor information, or other third-party resources.
