Our Services

Bid Estimates

Subcontractors and contractors contact us for bid estimates and submissions for public and private projects. Using our cost-estimating database, we incorporate location-specific material and labor pricing data.

Design Estimates

Design estimates and takeoffs are generated for projects with fewer features. These projects necessitate assumptions supported by acceptable and dependable justifications for clients, and our estimators are always accessible to meet the client’s needs.

Preliminary Estimates

These are frequently created during the project’s preconstruction phase. Preliminary estimates are essential for obtaining loans, budgeting for clients, performing a cost-benefit analysis of the land before acquiring it, and generating a cost budget to engage contractors.

Conceptual Estimates

The conceptual estimate and takeoff are necessary during the early stages of the project when there are fewer specifications designed for the project, and it must be evaluated for cost and benefit analysis. 

Structural steel and MEP shop drawings

In addition to construction estimating services, we also provide extensive CAD shop drawing services to contractors, manufacturers, and fabricators to enable the fabrication and installation of prefabricated components.

Monthly Takeoff Packages

By signing up for our monthly takeoff packages, contractors save 60% off the cost of an in-house construction estimator.

Consultation

Our cost construction estimation team offers consultation to our clients to help them comprehend construction costs and budget management. In this regard, we offer bid filing support and management of the client’s bidding network.

Our Construction Estimating Software

We use certified construction estimating software such as:

  • Blue Beam
  • PlanSwift
  • IMHS Mark Systems
  • ProEst
  • RS Means
  • Bid Point XL

Our Construction Estimating Template

As AIQS and AACE members, we provide accurate and timely takeoff and estimates using customizable Excel templates or your preferred format.

Our Construction Estimating Process

Drawing review

Our estimating process typically begins with a study of the client’s plans and drawings, followed by a meeting of the expert estimators and material takeoff experts to examine the elements to be quantified and taken off.

Estimation

After careful preparation of takeoff and pricing by using construction software, we deliver the estimate and takeoff sheet in the client template or EXCEL sheets.

Pricing

We usually organize the estimate using drawings or CSI codes, then offset the value against each appropriate trade and code. We provide zip code pricing and accept local vendor prices. Site limits, for example, are taken into account.

Final Audit

At last, an expert performs a final audit to ensure the quality of the estimate.
