Our Comprehensive Services

Bid Estimates 

Subcontractors and contractors rely on us for accurate bid estimates and submissions for both public and private projects. We leverage our cost-estimating database, integrating location-specific material and labor pricing data to ensure precision.

Design Estimates

For projects with limited features, we generate design estimates and takeoffs. These require assumptions backed by solid and credible justifications. Our team of estimators is dedicated to meeting the unique needs of each client.

Preliminary Estimates

Crucial during the preconstruction phase, preliminary estimates are indispensable for securing loans, client budgeting, evaluating land cost-benefits before purchase, and creating a cost budget for contractor engagement.

Conceptual Estimates

In early project stages with limited specifications, conceptual estimates and takeoffs are vital for cost and benefit analysis, laying the groundwork for successful project initiation.

Structural Steel and MEP Shop Drawings

Beyond estimating, we offer comprehensive CAD shop drawing services. These are essential for contractors, manufacturers, and fabricators, facilitating the fabrication and installation of prefabricated components.
