Coating Workshop Estimates: Use a Range When Inputs Are Uncertain
A single precise estimate can hide uncertain surface area, preparation time or material consumption. A documented range makes those assumptions visible.
Updated · NANOLAB Knowledge
Practical approach
Identify the inputs that could change and calculate plausible scenarios. Replace assumptions with measurements as the job becomes clearer.
A vehicle with unknown previous treatments may need a preparation range until inspection and a test area establish the work.
Decision limits
Do not use a broad range to avoid defining scope. State what will resolve the uncertainty and when the quote will be confirmed.
