Architectural estimating

Architectural scopes are where scope gaps hide. Blocking, backing, rated assemblies and transitions live on details rather than plans, and they are routinely left out of trade bids. We take them off with the finish schedule open alongside the drawings.

Trades in this group

• Drywall Estimating – Board counts, framing, finishing levels and rated assembly detail.
• Roofing Estimating – Squares, laps and details for shingle, TPO, EPDM, metal and modified systems.
• Flooring Estimating – Room-by-room floor coverings with underlayment, trim and transitions.
• Painting Estimating – Coating quantities by surface, system and number of coats.
• Doors & Windows Estimating – Full opening schedules with frames, hardware sets and glazing.
• Millwork Estimating – Casework, countertops and architectural woodwork priced by unit and linear foot.
