Estimating Services

Our Services

Quantity take offs: We prepare a spreadsheet for you with all the take-off numbers, Square Footage, Cubic Yardage and Linear Footage for your job. You will have all these raw numbers to work your prices out.

Labor and material estimates: We prepare a detailed estimate with unit prices of materials and cost of labor based on our experience and published & updated cost data. We can also provide only a spreadsheet in excel format and you will fill it in with your prices.

Bill of Materials (BOM): We prepare a list of the materials needed for any portion of the job or a list for the materials for the whole job; we arrange the materials by material type or in any way you need it to make it easier ordering materials.

Preliminary budget cost report: Using either your costs or our experience and published & updated cost data, we input the information and provide you with a full preliminary total report for budget estimating purposes. You can use this report as a rough guide for giving a ballpark price or for comparison purposes.

Submittal package preparation: We prepare a full package for submittal. We cover all the aspects of your full bid and prepare it in a professional format for you to present it to your clients. Also if you need it we can do the presentation for you.

OUR PRICES: The cost of our estimating services is determined by the type & size of the project. For that reason, it is vital that we get a copy of your plans and specifications via “PDF or a link”. Once we receive a copy of your plans, we will examine it and give you a quote along with the estimated time frame on how long it will take to complete.
HIRING US: You should receive our quote "via email" after we finish reviewing your plans. If approved, we'll email you a "Pro-Forma Invoice" that would require your signature.
PAYMENT: We'll email you a link where you can pay and download your take-off and/or estimate.
GUARANTEE: Since we're not a bonding company, we do not offer any guarantee. But we do promise to do our job as best as we can.

YOUR SUBS & VENDORS: If you would like to use prices or proposals from your subcontractors and/or vendors for materials & equipment; please forward them to us and we will incorporate them in our estimate.

LABOR & MATERIALS PRICING: Please bear in mind that we use a software to generate estimates. Clients must always confirm pricing for all items since we are using “Craftsman & RSMeans Database Standards”.

REVISING THE ESTIMATE: Any inquiries or questions for clarity should be addressed in writing via "e-mail" immediately. Once you receive the estimate we will be more than happy to make changes or add things; feedback is always welcome.
