Property-specific quote intelligence

Water-Treatment Quote Benchmark Worksheet

Compare up to three water-treatment quotes using the same property scope, property-specific allowances, missing-scope flags and documentation checks.

✓ No invented averages✓ Scope-normalized✓ No provider endorsement
Benchmark model

Compare the price that is written, add only your own property-specific allowances, and keep unknown work visibly unresolved.

Price and documentation scored separately
This worksheet does not estimate a Houston average.

It puts up to three proposals onto the same scope. Use written trade estimates or property budgets for allowances; leave unknown costs blank.

Normalize your water-treatment quotes

Start with the property, then document only the quotes you want to compare.

1 Property and design basis
2 Allowances for missing scope

These are your property-specific assumptions, not market averages. A blank allowance remains an unresolved cost.

Method boundary

What this worksheet can—and cannot—tell you

It can expose excluded work, unstated work, and missing documentation. It cannot establish whether a treatment design is appropriate. Confirm the water source, test evidence, exact model claims, design flow, installation conditions, credentials, and written warranty directly.
