Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Completely. Your drawings, scope, and pricing stay private. We never share bid documents and never compete against our own clients.

Send the revised drawings or addenda and we update the affected quantities and pricing. Revision terms are confirmed in your quote upfront, so you know exactly how changes are handled before you commit.

We serve contractors, subcontractors, builders, developers, and design teams worldwide, USA, Canada, UK, Australia, UAE, and Saudi Arabia. Material pricing is localized to your market, so your estimate reflects your project location, not a national average.
