Terms & Conditions

By submitting project plans, accepting an estimate proposal, creating an account on the client portal, or purchasing deliverables from QTO Solutions ("Company", "we", "us", "our"), you ("Client", "Contractor", "you") agree to be legally bound by these Terms & Conditions.

If you are entering into this agreement on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind such entity to these Terms.

QTO Solutions provides professional construction consulting deliverables including:

• Quantity Takeoffs (QTO)Itemized material counts, linear lengths, square footages, and volume calculations from plans.
• Cost EstimationLine-item labor, material, equipment, subcontractor, and overhead cost benchmarking (RSMeans / localized rates).
• Material TakeoffsDetailed per-trade material quantity lists for procurement and bidding.
• Bid Packages & SubmissionsComprehensive general contractor and subcontractor tender compilation.

To deliver accurate estimates on schedule, the Client is responsible for:

• Providing legible, scaled drawing sheets (architectural, structural, MEP, civil).
• Supplying relevant addenda, project specifications, and scope clarifications before takeoff commences.
• Promptly responding to estimator RFIs (Requests for Information) regarding missing dimensions or drawing conflicts.

Standard turnarounds are based on project size and complexity:

We understand that construction plans evolve throughout the bidding cycle:

• Minor Revisions: Small clarifications, adjustments to unit costs, or minor architectural callout updates are performed free of charge.
• Major Addenda / Redesigns: If an addendum issues completely revised floor plans, additional building stories, or substantial scope additions, an adjusted quote will be provided before work proceeds.

Pricing is quoted upfront per project scope or covered under monthly contractor subscription packages. Invoices must be paid via our secure portal before final unlocked Excel spreadsheets and takeoff markup files are released, unless net credit terms have been formally approved in writing.

Upon receipt of full payment, QTO Solutions grants the Client an unrestricted, perpetual license to use, modify, and distribute the completed quantity takeoff spreadsheets, summary reports, and color-coded markups for bidding, purchasing, and construction management of the designated project.

Because construction estimating involves dedicated labor and custom engineering takeoffs:

• Prior to Estimator Commencement: Orders may be cancelled for a 100% full refund if work has not yet started.
• In-Progress Orders: Once takeoff work has commenced, cancellations will be prorated based on the percentage of completed sheets.
• Completed Deliverables: Completed deliverables are non-refundable, but we will make all requested corrections within scope free of charge.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, QTO Solutions and its estimators shall not be liable for any indirect, consequential, special, punitive, or lost profit damages arising out of bid outcomes, project delays, or construction cost overruns. In all circumstances, total liability shall not exceed the total fee paid by Client for the specific estimate in question.

These Terms & Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising under these Terms shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation or binding mediation prior to initiating formal arbitration.
