Construction Estimating Services in New Hampshire
New Hampshire building contractors can request remote takeoffs and priced bid estimates from the selected design issue. Supply the discipline code summary and state-bid subcontract scope sheets. A single model-code year or a generic subcontract allowance is not enough to establish the complete construction basis.
Send plans, specifications, addenda, trade scope and your deadline. Agree Excel quantities, priced trade breakdowns, color-coded PDF markups and assumptions/exclusions in the proposal. Document completeness, trade count and revisions affect fee and delivery; rush capacity requires confirmation. Estimating excludes design, approvals and legal or tax advice.
Request an estimate quoteKeep discipline editions and subcontract responsibilities explicit. Code references can differ within one design package, while the awarding agency may require information beyond a priced subcontract subtotal.
The adopted code definition includes different editions
New Hampshire RSA 155-A defines its building-code references with different model editions for building, energy and electrical provisions, and addresses reviewed state and local amendments.
Send the designer's edition-by-discipline schedule and confirmed local amendments. Measure energy assemblies and electrical systems from their actual details; do not relabel every schedule with the building-code year. If a local amendment is disputed, seek project-team confirmation before treating it as a new quantity.
State construction contracts have subcontract disclosure requirements
RSA 21-I:81-a requires subcontractor information for competitively bid state building work, including community-college and university projects, and allows awarding bodies to set more rigorous standards.
Request the bid instructions and contractor's subcontract register. Match each quoted trade to a scope sheet and identify unassigned work before the bid is assembled. The estimate can organize responsibility and inclusions; it does not collect corporate disclosures or submit the statutory list on the contractor's behalf.
Prepare the New Hampshire estimate package
- Edition-by-discipline design summary
- Retain energy, electrical and building references separately.
- Confirmed local amendments
- Measure only issued design consequences.
- Agency bid instructions
- Identify required trade and subcontract scope structure.
- Subcontract quotes and exclusions
- Expose unassigned or overlapping work.
- Addenda and construction calendar
- Align scope comparisons to one current issue.
Specify the returned breakdown
Request a trade-responsibility workbook with quantity references, subcontract quote inclusions and gaps identified. Keep the design edition schedule alongside assumptions. A returned estimate should support the contractor's bid assembly without claiming to satisfy agency disclosure or code-review obligations.
Can one code year describe my New Hampshire bid set?
Not necessarily. The statutory references include different editions by discipline. Send the design summary and measure the selected assemblies rather than assuming all systems use the building-code year.
Will the estimate submit my New Hampshire subcontract disclosures?
No. The contractor handles required disclosures. The estimating package can identify which trade quote and scope responsibility support each priced subtotal if that output is agreed.
Confirm scope and next steps
We quantify supplied designs and documented assumptions. Engineering, architectural/MEP design, stamping, inspections, permit approval, code certification, AHJ representation and legal or tax advice are excluded. Missing details become questions or agreed allowances.
- State-building trade coordination
- Discipline-specific electrical scope
- Send bid instructions and quotes
