What to ask in a demo
Take one enhancement estimate and one recurring maintenance route into the demo. Change the project labor assumption, record actual time, and ask the office to explain the difference without rebuilding a spreadsheet.
- How are overhead and target margin reflected in an estimate?
- Can project time be separated by job and category while maintenance stays stop-based?
- How does the office find missing or misallocated hours before payroll review?
- Which estimating and reporting functions are included in the proposed plan?
