Everything between the plan set and the number you submit.
Take the whole package or just the piece you're short on. Most clients start with a single bid and keep sending them.
Quantity Takeoffs
Measured, itemized quantities tied back to the drawing sheets so anyone can trace a number to its source.
Detailed Estimates
Quantities priced with labor, material, equipment, and production rates broken out line by line.
Scope Review
A read of the specs, general conditions, and addenda that flags what is buried in your scope before you own it.
Preconstruction Budgets
Conceptual and schematic-level budgets from partial drawings, for owners and CMs testing feasibility.
One estimator, every division.
You should not need four different services to price one building. If it is on the drawings, we can take it off.
Four steps, no meetings required.
Send the plans and go run your jobs. You will hear from us twice: once to confirm scope, once to deliver.
Send the package
Upload plans, specs, and any addenda. PDF, DWG, or a link to the plan room works.
Confirm scope & rates
A fixed price, a delivery date, a written list of what we are pricing, and a short ask for the cost inputs below.
We take it off
Quantities measured and priced, with assumptions and exclusions documented as we go.
You get the package
Excel workbook and PDF bid summary, with assumptions documented. One round of revisions included.
Two ways to price it
Quantities are quantities. What they cost depends on whose shop is building the job — so you choose the cost basis, and you can change your mind between bids.
Market rates
We price with current regional labor, equipment, and material rates for the project's location and wage classification.
- Nothing needed from you but the plans
- Fastest turnaround
- Good for feasibility, budgets, and unfamiliar markets
You adjust to your own shop before you submit.
Your numbers
We build the estimate on your actual cost structure, so the bottom line is a number you can submit rather than a starting point.
- Burdened labor rates by classification — union, open shop, or prevailing wage determination
- Crew composition — who is actually on the crew, and how many
- Owned equipment and its internal ownership rate, versus what you rent
- Your production rates where you have history — they beat book values every time
- Haul and disposal — spoil site, tipping fees, import source and distance
- Supplier agreements that beat market material pricing
- Markup, overhead, bonding and insurance — and whether you want them broken out or carried
Sent once. We keep your rate sheet on file and apply it to every bid after that.
Built by a contractor, not a data-entry shop.
Most outsourced takeoff services count lines on a drawing. That is not the same as knowing what it costs to build.
Field-tested numbers
Production rates and pricing come from work that actually got built and billed, not from a generic cost database.
Workbooks you can edit
Every estimate ships as a live, formula-driven Excel file. Change a unit price and the whole thing updates. Nothing is locked.
Assumptions in writing
Inclusions, exclusions, and clarifications are spelled out, so you know precisely where the risk sits before you sign.
Public work understood
Prevailing wage, certified payroll, and DBE requirements are priced in, not discovered after award.
Bid-day responsive
Addendum drops at 2pm for a 4pm bid? That is a normal Tuesday. Rush work is a service, not an inconvenience.
Your numbers stay yours
We do not bid work. We do not share your pricing. Every engagement is confidential by default.
What lands in your inbox.
Excel Workbook
Line-item quantities and pricing, formula-driven and fully unlocked. Summary tab, detail tabs, and an assumptions sheet.
Bid Summary PDF
A clean recap of the numbers, scoped to the job — brief enough to attach to a proposal, detailed enough to walk an owner through. Your markup stays out of it.
The things contractors ask first.
What does a takeoff cost?
It depends on the size of the plan set and how many trades you need priced. Send the package and you'll get a fixed price before any work starts — no hourly billing, no surprises on the invoice.
How fast can you turn one around?
Most complete packages go out in 24 to 72 hours. Same-day rush is available when the bid date is tight — tell us the deadline up front and we'll confirm whether we can hit it before you commit.
What do you need from me to start?
Plans, specifications, and any addenda issued to date. A plan room link, Dropbox folder, or a stack of PDFs all work. If drawings are incomplete, we'll tell you what's missing rather than guess.
How do you make the numbers match my costs?
By using your costs. Quantities are objective — 400 cubic yards is 400 cubic yards — but what that costs is entirely a function of whose crews and equipment are doing the work. A union shop with an owned excavator and a rented one are three different numbers for the same scope.
So we ask for your burdened labor rates by classification, your crew makeup, which equipment you own versus rent and what your internal ownership rates are, your own production history where you have it, haul and disposal distances, any supplier agreements that beat market pricing, and how you want markup, overhead, bonding and insurance handled. You send that once; we keep it on file and apply it to every bid after.
If you'd rather not share rates, or you're testing an unfamiliar market, we price at current regional rates instead and you adjust before you submit. Both are legitimate — just tell us which on the request form.
Do you bid against your clients?
No. We do not perform construction work and we do not bid jobs. Your plans, quantities, and pricing stay confidential, and we won't take on two competing bidders on the same project.
What if I disagree with a quantity?
Every line ties back to the sheet and detail it was measured from, so you can check any quantity yourself. One round of revisions is included in every package — flag it and we'll correct it.
Do you handle prevailing wage and public work?
Yes. Prevailing wage rates, certified payroll burden, and DBE or set-aside requirements get built into the estimate from the start, not bolted on after award.
Tell us about the bid.
Send the details and we will come back within one business day with a fixed price and a delivery date. No obligation, no sales call.
