Allow 2 working days after project request is submitted to production for standard estimates and 3-5 working days for more complicated projects or projects requiring outside vendor bids.
- Production (PM) negotiates costs with all outside vendors (excluding media).
- PM and Account determine whether a pre-estimating meeting with other departments is needed to clarify scope/expectations.
- PM sends RFQ to vendors, receives vendor quotes and submits estimate to Account.
- Account reviews the estimate, clarifies any questions with PM prior to sending to Client.
- Account sends estimate to Client for approval.
- Revising Estimates
- Any changes (i.e., quantity or scope) require a revised estimate.
- If original project estimate has been approved, a change order estimate can be created and invoiced on the same project number. Account can submit a WMJ conversation to direct Production on the change order needs.
- If original project estimate is NOT approved, Account can submit a WMJ conversation or update the original project request and submit to Production. PM will submit a revised estimate.
