Takeoffs & estimating

Construction estimating services

An estimate is a takeoff with prices attached. We measure your plans, apply your labor and material rates or the supplier prices you send, and deliver a priced estimate organized the way you bid, with every assumption written down.

Price
From US$245 per project
Turnaround
4 to 7 business days for most homes
New home priced from its plans before construction

Your numbers, our hours

Pricing is where your margin lives, so we use your rates, your suppliers' quotes and your markups rather than generic cost data. We supply the measured quantities and the arithmetic; you stay in control of the price you submit.

Estimates we prepare

  • New homes and custom builds
  • Remodels and additions
  • Townhome and small multifamily projects
  • Light commercial and tenant improvements
  • Budget estimates for developers at the design stage

Built to be checked

Every line traces back to a measured quantity and a rate, with the marked-up plans attached. If the scope changes before bid day, we revise the affected items instead of rebuilding the whole estimate.

Questions we are asked

Do you use our estimating template?

Yes. Send your template and we fill it in, so the estimate drops straight into your proposal.

Can you estimate without our rates?

We can use supplier prices you get for the project, or show quantities only. We do not guess at local labor rates.
