Trades Hub FAQ

Do you estimate single trades or only full multi-trade projects?expand_more
We provide both. Trade subcontractors can request dedicated single-trade takeoffs (e.g., concrete only, drywall only, framing only) starting at $150–$350 per project, while General Contractors can request complete multi-trade packages.
What is your policy regarding Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) trades?expand_more
ConstructionEstimatingServices.org focuses strictly on non-MEP architectural, structural, civil, and finish divisions. MEP estimating is handled exclusively by our dedicated sister platform, MEPEstimationUSA.com.
Can you format material takeoffs to match our supplier order sheets?expand_more
Yes. We customize final Excel outputs to align with your preferred lumberyard order sheets, concrete batch ticket formats, or internal cost code systems.
