Allowance

Allowance is a budgeted sum included in a construction contract for specific items or work whose exact details or costs are not yet determined, providing flexibility during the project.

Allowances cover items like light fixtures, countertops, or flooring where the homeowner hasn’t made a final selection yet. Setting the right allowance amount keeps your bid competitive while protecting your margin if the client upgrades later.

Accurate estimates win profitable jobs. Projul’s estimating tools help contractors build professional proposals, track allowances and changes, and convert estimates directly into project tasks, keeping everything connected from bid to build.
