Large Scale Job Estimating

I'm in the process of bidding a large job by my standards, it's a commercial building new construction. I've never bid anything even close to this in size, it could be an opportunity to put my company at a higher level......or......it could put me out of business if I miss the mark.

My plan is to break this job down in to blocks of the size I'm accustomed to and estimate them, then total them up for the final quote. The job has a set of architectural plans, basically I'm working to the plans. There's a materials list published as well. Will my system get me in trouble or should it work out? Anything I should be careful of when figuring this job?

Thanks!
