Select a specialized estimating service below to view detailed scope breakdowns, pricing tiers, and sample deliverables.
Construction Cost Estimating
A priced construction estimate built from your drawings: measured quantities, material unit costs, crew labor hours, equipment, general conditions, and markups, organized by CSI MasterFormat division.
Quantity Takeoff Services
Digital quantity takeoffs measured from your plans: linear, area, volume and count quantities organized by trade or CSI division, delivered in Excel with color-coded PDF markups.
Material Takeoff Services
Material takeoffs converted into purchase units (pieces, sheets, bundles, bags, sticks) for suppliers, lumberyards and trade contractors who need a buyable list, not just measured quantities.
Commercial Construction Estimating
Estimates for commercial buildings — office, retail, restaurants, medical, multi-family and institutional — covering all trades, general conditions, and the specification requirements commercial bids are judged on.
Residential Construction Estimating
Estimates for custom homes, spec and production homes, additions, remodels and small multi-family, built around the framing, envelope and finish selections that drive residential cost.
Construction Bid Estimating
Bid preparation for general contractors: subcontractor proposals leveled to the same scope, missing scope identified and priced, addenda tracked, and the owner bid form assembled.
Outsourced Construction Estimating
An outsourced estimating desk for general contractors and trade subcontractors: takeoffs, estimates and bid support on demand, per project or on a monthly plan, without adding a full-time estimator.
Industrial Construction Estimating
Estimates for warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing plants and process facilities, where sitework, heavy slabs, structural steel or tilt-up panels, and process MEP dominate cost.
