One Estimating Partner
Choose the Output You Actually Need.
Not every contractor needs the same estimating package. Some teams need clean quantities and markups. Others want labor hours, an editable bid worksheet, local pricing research or recurring estimating capacity.
Our service structure is designed to scale from a focused takeoff to a complete estimate without forcing unnecessary work into the scope.

Built for Professional Contractors
Clear Scope. Reviewable Outputs. No Black Box.
Every service is structured around contractor review: what was measured, what assumptions were used, what is included, and which pricing inputs remain under the client’s control.

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.
