Why Eleven26 Believes in One Quote, No Surprises

Eleven26 was founded after Will Merchant’s years of working in the Austin market, after he found passion in the understanding of how much early site work can affect the rest of a project. Central Texas properties often come with tight access, protected trees, rock, drainage concerns, slope issues, and city requirements that need to be handled before construction can move forward. A low bid that leaves those items out may look good at first, but these bids end up creating more work and costing more money, resulting in delays, extra vendors, change orders, unexpected costs once work begins.

Eleven26 built its pricing model to avoid that problem.

Our approach is to identify those needs upfront. Before we provide a quote, we look at the full scope of the job: what needs to come down, what needs to be protected, how equipment will get in and out, what materials need to be hauled, and what condition the site needs to be in when we leave.

That allows us to give clients a clear, all-inclusive quote they can actually plan around.

We are not trying to win work with the lowest number and figure out the rest later. We would rather provide a realistic scope, communicate clearly, and stand behind the price we give. For builders and property owners, that means fewer surprises, fewer phone calls, and a cleaner, faster handoff to the next trade.

At Eleven26, price transparency is part of how we build trust. The first phase of a project should create momentum, not confusion. This momentum begins with a dependable quote, and a site that is ready for what comes next, every time at Eleven26.
