    Directional estimate only. This tool models national and regional industry averages from the sources labeled on each assumption. Actual SIP package quotes, framing bids, labor rates, and lender carrying costs vary by supplier, design complexity, and market. Replace the defaults above with your real bid numbers before using this in a budget. This is not a quote and not a substitute for supplier pricing.
