What Happens Next

A Clear Review Before Estimating Starts.

The request first goes through scope review so your team knows the deliverables, fee and turnaround before work begins.

01

Documents Reviewed

We review the drawings, scope notes and bid deadline you submitted.

02

Scope Confirmed

Required takeoff, estimate level and deliverables are clarified before production.

03

Fee & Turnaround

Your team receives the proposed estimating scope, fee and turnaround for approval.

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 to Send

  • Architectural, structural and/or MEP drawings in PDF
  • Scope of Works, specifications and relevant schedules
  • Addenda, revisions and trade-specific requirements
  • Project location and preferred material, labor or supplier pricing
  • Required inclusions, exclusions and bidding requirements

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.

Missing or unclear information can be recorded as assumptions and exclusions. We confirm the scope and deliverables from the documents received before work begins.

Prepared using professional estimating tools including PlanSwift, Bluebeam, CostX and BuildSoft Cubit. See our service process and available support →
