Services

Two core offerings tailored to your scope: Cost Estimation and Takeoffs. We support residential, commercial, and industrial work — from small remodels to large developments.

Cost Estimation

Defensible, scope‑based estimates for pre‑construction, bidding, budgeting, and procurement. We align pricing with drawings, specs, and documented assumptions.

Residential: new builds, remodels, multi‑family — unit rate and assembly pricing; alternates and options as needed.
Commercial: offices, retail, hospitality, education — trade‑level breakouts and CSI division summaries.
Industrial & Infrastructure: warehouses, plants, site/civil — production‑based rates and crew logic where applicable.

Deliverables: Excel/CSV estimate with line items, CSI/UniFormat summaries, inclusions/exclusions, and assumptions sheet.

Material & Quantity Takeoffs

Clean, trade‑structured takeoffs ready for pricing and procurement. We extract quantities directly from your drawings and issue clear measurement notes.

Material Takeoff: full material lists with units (LF, SF, CY, EA), organized by trade and specification section.
Quantity Takeoff: labor + material quantities per trade (e.g., concrete, masonry, steel, carpentry, drywall, MEP, finishes).
Output Formats: Excel/CSV tables, PDF markups on request, CSI division rollups.

Typical uses: bid day, supplier RFQs, buy‑out planning, and budget validation.
