Specialty estimating scopes are the jobs where a general method meets a rulebook or a third-party reviewer. The guides here cover two: prevailing wage on public work, with the Davis-Bacon wage determination and the labor line it changes, and insurance restoration claims, with the documentation a supplement needs. Each guide names the source documents, shows a worked layout or checklist, and says where the contract, state law or the carrier's own paperwork controls. They explain how the rules and documents work and are not legal advice. Written for contractors, estimators and payroll or claims staff who need the rules in plain language before they price the work.

A supplement holds up when every line carries its reason, its measurement and its evidence. Get a line sheet, a filled kitchen example and the order to send it in.
A prevailing wage bid prices each labor hour by classification, with fringe, burden and weekly payroll cost. One worked build-up shows every step.
Davis-Bacon wages set the floor for the labor line on covered work. This guide shows where the wage determination lives, how to read it, and what it changes in a bid.
