Estimates, preconstruction support, Revit/BIM, CAD drafting, shop drawings, and scheduling from one responsive team.
When bid volume swings, fixed payroll doesn't. Here's the honest comparison.
| In-House Estimator | BuildCore Technical | |
|---|---|---|
| Annual cost | Fixed payroll, busy or slow | Pay per project, scale with bid volume |
| Turnaround | Limited by one person's bandwidth | Fast, confirmed per project scope and bid deadline |
| Coverage | One person's expertise | 6 technical services + 32 supported trades |
| Quality control | ✕ Self-checked | ✓ Structured pre-release review |
| Overhead | Payroll even when bids are slow | Zero overhead between projects |
Not an either-or decision: many contractors keep a lead estimator in-house and outsource the takeoff volume their preconstruction team can't absorb.

Multi-trade estimating, bid support and preconstruction capacity.

Trade-specific takeoffs, estimating and complete bid proposal preparation.

Roofing takeoffs and repair/replacement estimates.

Earthwork, utilities, paving, striping and site-development takeoffs.

Product-specific takeoffs and quote-ready material lists.

Budget estimates, cost planning and preconstruction support.
We support all major construction trades, including concrete, masonry, structural steel, carpentry, millwork, roofing, glazing, drywall, ceilings, flooring, painting, cladding, insulation, interior fit-out, HVAC, plumbing, fire protection, electrical, low voltage, civil works, sitework, landscaping and more.
We review your drawings, specifications, and bid documents, flagging missing information and confirming scope before any takeoff begins.
Every quantity measured digitally in PlanSwift, Bluebeam, and Trimble, organized by trade, traceable to the sheet.
Priced with current zip-code-based material rates and crew-based labor, then checked under a structured pre-release review before delivery.
A bid-ready estimate in Excel or PDF, in our template or yours, with line-item descriptions and marked-up plans.
Estimate accuracy tightens as design matures. We tell you where your project sits, typical industry ranges, never inflated promises:
We are adding real project photos, sample estimate formats, and a downloadable portfolio PDF. Meanwhile, the fastest way to see our work is a sample takeoff on your own drawings.
Your quantities import cleanly, we measure in the platforms your team already uses.
We deliver construction cost estimates, quantity takeoffs, and material takeoffs for commercial, residential, and public projects, organized by trade. We also support engineering design documentation including BIM modeling, CAD drafting, and permit drawings, so estimating and design can come from one team.
Most takeoffs and estimates are delivered in 24 to 48 hours. Send your drawings and we reply within 24 hours with a fixed quote and a confirmed delivery date, so you can plan around your bid deadline. Larger or complex projects take longer, your quote will state the exact date.
Send drawings and specifications as PDF or DWG, or share a plan-room link. Include any addenda, your bid date, and the trades or divisions you want covered. We review everything first, flag missing information, and confirm scope before any takeoff begins.
Pricing depends on project size, trade scope, and drawing complexity. Every project is quoted individually with a fixed price. Scale your preconstruction capacity without adding full-time overhead: pay per project and let estimating cost grow with your bid volume.
Every estimate follows CSI MasterFormat, uses current material pricing localized to your project zip code, and passes a structured pre-release review before delivery. Accuracy also depends on design stage: early conceptual budgets carry wider ranges than detailed estimates built from complete construction documents.
We work in PlanSwift, Bluebeam, On-Screen Takeoff, STACK, ProEst, Trimble, and Autodesk Revit. You receive a bid-ready estimate in Excel or PDF, in our template or yours, with line-item descriptions and marked-up plans.
Both. Many clients send a single trade, concrete, drywall, framing, or MEP, while others send a full building covering every trade. Subcontractors get trade-specific takeoffs with labor and material broken out; general contractors get division-by-division estimates.
Yes. We prepare estimates for federal, state, and municipal work, structured to strict procurement and bidding requirements with every trade categorized trade by trade.
Send your drawings in PDF, DWG, or a plan-room link. We reply within 24 hours with a fixed quote and a confirmed delivery date, so you never miss a bid deadline. Most standard takeoffs can be completed within 24-48 hours; larger projects are quoted with a confirmed delivery date.
