Trade Overview

Measured Scope That Is Easy to Price and Review

Exterior elevations often combine multiple finish systems, reveals, trims and architectural features. We measure and separate those surfaces so the contractor can review coverage before pricing.

Typical Measured Scope

What We Can Break Down for EIFS / Stucco / Cladding / Siding

The exact scope follows the plans and agreed bid requirements. Typical measurable items include:

  • EIFS and stucco wall surfaces
  • Reveals, trims and control joints
  • Parapets, planters and retaining walls
  • Columns, slab edges and balcony conditions
  • Cladding and siding areas where applicable
  • Breakdown by elevation or finish type

Remote Estimating Process

Documents, Pricing and Agreed Deliverables

All estimating and quantity takeoff services are provided 100% remotely throughout the United States. We do not perform site visits.

Location-Specific Cost Inputs

When cost estimating is requested, we use RSMeans Data as one of our primary sources for location-specific material and labor pricing. Inputs are selected for the project’s city/state and adjusted as appropriate for specifications, trade requirements, quantities, construction type and information supplied by the client.

A quantity-only takeoff does not include cost pricing unless it is part of the agreed scope.

What You Receive

Depending on the agreed service and trade, deliverables may include a quantity takeoff / BOQ, material quantities, labor quantities or hours, drawing markups, trade breakdowns, inclusions and exclusions, and assumptions and clarifications. Material and labor costs are included when requested; 3D views are optional where applicable.
