Specialty Trades estimating

Scopes that do not fit neatly into a standard division and are often bid by specialists working from a partial drawing set. These take more interpretation and more written assumptions, which is exactly what we document.

• Waterproofing Estimating – Below-grade and horizontal waterproofing with detail linear footage.
• Low Voltage Estimating – Structured cabling, AV and network infrastructure counts.
