Residential Estimating Services

An exact residential cost estimate is fundamental for managing the entire financial aspect of a construction project. 

A precise residential construction cost estimating is essential in residential building construction planning. It offers insights into potential expenses, enabling the calculation of markups, budget allocation, financing arrangements, client quotations, and negotiations with contractors and subcontractors through our residential construction estimating service. 

Fix Estimator, the best in the business for estimating residential construction, offers an extensive analysis of the plans using cutting-edge software to measure quantities. 

Additionally, we reference our construction cost database and RSMeans for zip-code pricing for localized residential estimating.  

We analyze labor costs, separating union and prevailing wages, which cover regular and overtime hours. We organize the bill of materials based on CSI MasterFormat divisions or a CSI cost pattern in Excel spreadsheets for convenient review and vendor pricing requests.
