WHY US
Why Contractors Choose Our Construction Estimating Company
Three things separate a usable estimate from a number nobody can bid on: accuracy, speed, and coverage. Here is exactly how we deliver all three.
12-15%
Accuracy
Preliminary estimates land within a 12% to 15% range of final cost, built fast enough for early budgeting decisions.
As drawings firm up, that range narrows to within 2% of the final bid number, verified line by line against current material pricing.
Every project moves through the same narrowing process, so the number you bid with is never a guess dressed up as a figure.
10-48%
Speed
Standard residential and small commercial takeoffs are delivered in 10 to 48 hours; larger industrial and multi-phase projects run 24-72 business hours.
Rush estimating is available for bids closing within 24 hours, subject to scope review.
A firm delivery date is confirmed in writing before any takeoff work begins, so your bid calendar never depends on a guess.
50States
Coverage
Our estimators have completed projects in all 50 states, across 24 CSI MasterFormat divisions and more than 30 trade specialties.
A recent example: a 42-unit multifamily estimate in Charlotte, North Carolina, where a division-by-division review caught a missing fire suppression riser before the bid went out.
Whether the project is a single-family remodel in Austin or a public-sector renovation in Columbus, the same depth of coverage applies.

Quantity Takeoff Services vs. a Full Construction Estimate
These two terms get used interchangeably online, and it costs people time when they order the wrong one.
A Quantity Takeoff
Counts and measures materials only – linear feet of framing, square feet of drywall, cubic yards of concrete – with no pricing attached. Useful for material ordering or verifying a sub’s numbers.
A Full Construction Estimate
Takes those same quantities and attaches current, zip-code-specific material and labor pricing, producing a bid-ready number ready for submission.

Our Full Range of Construction Estimating Services
Every service below routes to its own dedicated
page with full scope detail, sample deliverables, and
pricing guidance.
Residential Estimating Services
Accurate material and labor takeoffs for single family homes, custom builds, and remodels, priced with zip-code-specific data so homeowners and contractors get a number they can actually bid or budget against.
Commercial Estimating Services
Bid-ready cost estimates for retail, office, and mixed-use construction, broken out by CSI division so general contractors can compare directly against incoming subcontractor quotes before submission deadlines.
Industrial Estimating Services
Detailed takeoffs for warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and large-scale industrial builds, covering structural, mechanical, and site utility scope with the depth heavy construction bids require.
Construction Takeoff Services
Full quantity and pricing takeoffs covering every material and labor line item, delivered in Excel and PDF format, formatted for direct submission into your bid package.
Quantity Takeoff Services
Material-only quantity counts without pricing attached, ideal for ordering materials or verifying a subcontractor’s numbers before committing to a full priced estimate.
Structural Steel Estimating
Services
Specialized takeoffs for structural steel framing, decking, and fabrications, estimated by trade specialists who catch connection details and quantities generalist estimators typically miss.
Preliminary Estimating Services
Early-stage cost projections built from incomplete or conceptual drawings, typically landing within a 12% to 15% range, useful for budgeting and feasibility before final construction documents exist.
CPM Scheduling Services
Critical path method scheduling that maps project sequencing, durations, and dependencies, giving contractors a realistic timeline to pair with their cost estimate before breaking ground.
Outsource Estimating Services
Full estimating support for firms without inhouse capacity, handling takeoffs and pricing on demand so your team can focus on winning and running jobs instead.

BENEFITS
What You Save By Outsourcing Construction Estimates To Us
An in-house estimator is a fixed cost. Outsourcing turns it into a variable one. Here’s where that difference actually shows up.
No Salary, Benefits, or Slow-Season Dead Weight
An in-house estimator draws a paycheck in a month with three bids and a month with none. Outsourcing turns a fixed salary into a per-project cost you only pay when there’s work to price.
Scaled Capacity With Bid Calendar
Bid three jobs one month and twelve the next without hiring, training, or letting anyone go. With us, your capacity expands and contracts with the actual pipeline instead of your headcount.
Miss No Line Items!
A single uncaught scope gap on a mid-size bid can erase more profit than a year of outsourced estimating fees combined. That is exactly why every takeoff gets a second, independent reviewer before it reaches you.
A Dedicated Estimator For Every Project
Every account gets an assigned point of contact who already knows your project history and formatting preferences, not a rotating help-desk queue.
Licensed Software You Don’t Pay to Own
RSMeans, Bluebeam, and PlanSwift, and Trimble licenses run into thousands of dollars a year combined. These costs are already baked into every estimate instead of billed to your business as separate subscriptions.

What Contractors Say About Working With Us
Their review caught a missing fire suppression riser on our 42-unit job before we submitted the bid. That single catch alone paid for the estimate ten times over.
Marcus Delaney, Project Manager, Delaney Build Group – Charlotte, NC
We’ve used three estimating firms over the years. This is the first one that gets the structural steel numbers right on the first pass, every time.
Renee Ostrowski, Estimating Director, Ostrowski Commercial Contractors – Columbus, OH
I send them a set of plans and get back a number I can actually stand behind in front of a client. That’s worth more than a fast turnaround alone.
Diego Ferreira, Owner, Ferreira Custom Homes – Boise, ID
