Enter up to three supplier proposals, mark what each one includes, and add your own local estimate for excluded scope. The tool restates every offer as a finished-house cost and shows cost per bird place and cost per house. It does not pick a winner — award decisions also depend on references, service coverage and engineering fit.

How to use the output
Fix one capacity basis before comparing money — same birds, same houses, same density.
Price every excluded item locally and enter it as an add-back for that bidder.
Read cost per bird place alongside specification level, not on its own.
Treat a large gap in excluded items as a scope difference, not a discount.
Score warranty, lead time, references and service coverage separately.
Re-issue the corrected basis to all bidders and request revised offers.
Frequently asked questions
Put both offers on the same capacity basis (birds per house × number of houses), list every scope item separately, add each bidder's excluded items at your own local estimate, then compare adjusted total, cost per bird place and cost per house. Differences in scope, not in price, explain most of the gap.
No, and deliberately so. It normalises the offers, shows cost per bird place and cost per house, and flags missing scope and non-comparable assumptions. Award decisions also depend on references, service coverage, lead time and engineering fit, which no calculator can score for you.
It varies widely by country, climate, building standard, automation level and housing system, so a universal figure would be misleading. The value of the metric here is relative: it exposes when two offers differ because they are sized for different bird numbers rather than priced differently.
Because you will pay for it either way. If one supplier includes installation and another excludes it, comparing the two headline prices compares a finished house against a delivered crate.
