Project estimate
Give your client a full-cycle estimate grounded in measured spend and past projects. Use it after design and delivery planning, or after a presale design, to price the project.
Project estimate is one of 25 Shape workflows.
You give it
- Approved discovery, analysis, brand and designs
- A delivery plan or presale workstreams
- Your hourly rate
You decide
You confirm the hourly rate, review the preview, and approve the release to your client.
You get
- Cost to date, measured from recorded work
- Remaining cost, projected from anonymized past projects
- Assumptions, exclusions and a reserve for cleanup and deployment
- A branded proposal in HTML and PDF
- Independent checks of the numbers, content and layout
