Detailed Estimates
Line-item breakdowns built from your drawings, not square-foot averages.
We turn your drawings into numbers you can bid from — every scope measured, marked up on the plans and priced to the project’s zip code.
Line-item breakdowns built from your drawings, not square-foot averages.
Every quantity measured from the set and marked up so it can be traced.
Each division estimated the way that trade is actually measured and bid.
Excel, PDF and marked-up drawings, organized the way a bid gets used.
Seven services, from a single-trade takeoff to a full preconstruction budget. Most contractors start with one and add the rest as the relationship grows.
Twenty-five trades across five groups. Each one quantified the way that trade is measured on site, not by a generic template.
Footings, slabs, walls and flatwork quantified to the cubic yard, with formwork, reinforcing and finishing carried separately.
View concrete estimatingFabricated tonnage by shape and grade, connection material, metal deck, and erection hours from your structural set.
View structural steel estimatingCMU, brick, stone and veneer counts with mortar, grout, joint reinforcing, lintels and cells to be grouted.
View masonry estimatingDevice, fixture, conduit and gear counts taken from the plans and schedules, built up with industry labor units.
View electrical estimatingFixtures by mark, domestic water, waste and vent piping by size and material, plus valves, hangers and specialties.
View plumbing estimatingEquipment schedules, ductwork by the pound, diffusers and VAV boxes, with insulation, controls and balancing.
View hvac estimatingSquares by pitch and plane, every linear-foot detail, and each penetration counted off the mechanical plan.
View roofing estimatingBoard counts by thickness and type, framing, finish levels, and the rated assemblies that trade bids routinely miss.
View drywall estimatingRoom-by-room coverings with underlayment, transitions, trim and the floor prep nobody prices until it is too late.
View flooring estimatingEverything outside the building line — curbs, walks, paving, fencing, erosion control and site restoration.
View sitework estimatingThe discipline is the same whoever asks for it. What you need from the estimate is not.
Every relevant scope item accounted for and documented — exclusions, assumptions and open questions written down, so nothing is discovered on bid day.
Estimates structured around how contractors actually build and bid, division by division, rather than a single generic template.
Consistent workbooks your team can review, edit and defend, formatted the same way on the first job and the fiftieth.
A one-off estimate or standing capacity through your busy season. No retainer, no minimum volume, no long-term contract.
Send the drawing set, specifications, any addenda and your bid date.
We read the documents and confirm exactly which scopes are in and out.
A fixed fee and a delivery date, agreed before any work begins.
Quantities measured and marked up, priced, then checked by a second estimator.
Excel, PDF and marked-up drawings, with support while your bid is open.
The same workbook structure every time — no surprise formats, and nothing to rebuild before your team can work from it.
Project examples are published here as clients approve them. Redacted sample estimates are available on request in the meantime.
If yours is not here, an estimator will answer it the same business day.
The drawing set, the specifications, any addenda issued so far, and the bid date. PDF, DWG or a plan-room link all work. If something is missing we tell you what we need rather than guessing at it.
Measured quantities for every scope in your package, a color-coded mark-up of the plans so each quantity can be traced, scope notes with exclusions and assumptions, and an RFI list of anything the drawings do not answer.
Yes, and we prefer it. Your historical costs reflect your crews and your suppliers better than any published average. Send the template and we work inside it.
Bluebeam, PlanSwift, Trimble and Excel, with delivery in Excel and PDF as standard. If your team works to a specific format, send it over and we match it.
Pricing is per project and quoted before any work starts — no retainer, no minimum volume and no subscription. Dedicated estimating is a separate monthly arrangement.
All 50 states, with pricing adjusted to the project zip code rather than a national average.
Send the drawing set and the bid date. We confirm the scope, the fee and the delivery time before any work starts, so you know exactly what you are getting.
