SILVERAcoustical panel ceiling, total scheduled area, 26 rooms — 10,340 SF
Machine measurement calibrated to the printed life-safety room table; seven printed room areas validated it within ±6%. The second mechanism did not converge, so it is SILVER, not GOLD (sample line 01).

FLAGGEDCeiling heights vary 10'-0" to 11'-6" by room; no single height governs — not resolved
Any pricing that assumes one height across the job will be wrong. The gap is named, not averaged away.

TALLY37 lines · 27 GOLD · 3 SILVER · 7 FLAGGED · 9/9 rooms closed · signed 10:02

Both lines are from the published sample — a closed public bid you can check.

How it works

Forward the invite. Sign the number. Send.

Forward the GC's invite to cs@mindatu.com.

The email itself, portal link and all. That is the whole step.

The agent reads, measures, prices and drafts.

Every sheet, every addendum. Every quantity graded and linked to the sheet it came from.

Your estimator signs; you send.

Where the drawings don't prove a number, the line says FLAGGED. Nothing leaves without a human signature.
