Frequently Asked Questions
What services do you provide?
We specialize in comprehensive construction estimating and material takeoff services for all CSI trades—including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, structural, finishes, and site work. Our deliverables include detailed Excel estimates, PDF mark-ups, and clear material/labor breakdowns tailored to your project needs.
Who do you work with?
Our clients range from general contractors, subcontractors, builders, and developers to architects, engineering firms, and vendors. Whether you’re bidding on a small residential job or a large commercial development, we adapt to your project scope.
How accurate are your estimates?
Accuracy is our top priority. We use industry-leading digital takeoff software and follow a multi-step review process to ensure every quantity is correct. Each estimate is double-checked for consistency, and we factor in waste, labor productivity, and regional pricing data for realistic results.
How long does it take to get an estimate?
Standard turnaround is 48–72 business hours. For larger or complex projects, timelines are discussed upfront. Rush service is also available upon request.
What file formats do you deliver in?
We typically provide editable Excel sheets for estimates and PDF mark-ups for visual clarity. If you need a different format, we’ll customize it for you.
Do you provide sample estimates?
Yes! We can share sample estimates from past projects so you can see the level of detail and clarity you’ll receive.
How do I get started?
Simply send us your project drawings and scope of work by email. Our team will review the details and provide a quotation along with the estimated turnaround time.
What types of projects do you handle?
We cover residential, commercial, and industrial projects. From single-family homes to large retail buildouts and multi-trade developments, we adapt to any project size.
How much do your services cost?
Pricing depends on the scope, number of trades, and complexity of the project. Small residential estimates may start around $150–$300 (can be more or less), while larger commercial jobs are quoted case by case. We provide transparent quotations before starting any work.
How do I pay for your services?
Payments can be made securely via Stripe, bank transfer, or credit card. We usually require a partial upfront payment, with the balance due upon delivery of the estimate.
Can you work on tight deadlines?
Yes. If you have a fast-approaching bid date, we offer rush estimating services to make sure you never miss a submission.
Do you only work in the U.S.?
While we serve contractors nationwide across all 50 states, our remote team can handle projects from anywhere. We tailor estimates using region-specific labor and material pricing.
