Egress Window Calculator Question

So, just how accurate would you say this calculator is? I've used it a bunch, but actually my bids were lower than what your cost estimator said.

[Site Editor's Answer]

Sahid, I worked on the cost estimator to try and get it somewhat accurate for the bulk of projects. However, there is really only so much I can do. This is because most projects are so specific to the work that has to be done. The big price mover is the question Complexity Of Egress Project. This can move the price tag from $1250 for DIY all the way to $5250 for very difficult. So, at the end of the day, I stand by the basic cost to add an egress window, but agree that they aren't going to be perfect always. Therefore, that's why it's so important to collect bids.
