Frequently Asked Questions
Do you estimate single trades or only full multi-trade projects?↓
We estimate both. Subcontractors can submit single trade scopes (such as concrete, drywall, electrical, or roofing) for fixed flat rates starting at $150. General contractors can submit complete drawing sets for full CSI multi-trade coverage.
What drawings are required for a trade-specific takeoff?↓
Please upload the architectural and structural PDF plan sheets relevant to your trade, along with the project specification book (if available) and the project address or zip code.
Can you provide localized supplier pricing and labor wages?↓
Yes. Priced estimates are adjusted to the project location and labor basis (union, open shop or prevailing wage). Supplier quotes or crew rates you provide replace our figures.
