Overview

What this service does.

On industrial work the mechanical and electrical scope usually decides the number, and the drawings are at plot-plan scale. We quantify equipment pads, pipe racks, structural supports, process piping and heavy civil work with the same line-by-line traceability as a building estimate.

Who it’s for

  • Warehouses and distribution centers
  • Manufacturing and process plants
  • Data centers and utility-scale work

What’s included

  • Heavy civil and foundation quantities
  • Structural steel and pipe-rack tonnage
  • Process piping and equipment setting
  • Power distribution and controls
  • Phasing for occupied or operating facilities

What you receive

Everything you need to bid. Nothing you have to redo.

Every estimate ships as the same four-part package, on the first job and the fiftieth.

Do you estimate process piping?

Yes, by size, schedule and material, with fittings, valves, supports and testing measured from the isometrics and P&IDs.

Can you work on operating facilities?

Yes. We carry shutdown windows, phasing and access constraints as stated assumptions so they are priced, not discovered.

Do you handle data center MEP?

Yes, including generators, UPS, switchgear, busway and cooling, which usually make up most of a data center's cost.

Can you use our cost book and labor rates?

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.

How does pricing work?

Pricing is per project and quoted before any work starts — no retainer, no minimum volume and no subscription.
