• Design Estimates: We generate estimates and takeoffs for projects with limited details, based on defensible assumptions that our team is always available to clarify, ensuring maximum satisfaction for our clients.
• Preliminary Estimates: These early-stage estimates help clients with project financing, budgeting, and land acquisition decisions. They are essential for making informed choices before construction begins.
• Conceptual Estimates: In the initial design phase, these estimates assess the feasibility and cost-benefit of a project with minimal design details, helping clients evaluate the financial viability early on.
• Structural Steel & MEP Shop Drawings: We also provide comprehensive CAD drafting services for contractors and fabricators, ensuring precision in prefabricated component manufacturing and installation. Software used includes Revit, AutoCAD, and SolidWorks.
• Monthly Takeoff Packages: Contractors can save up to 60% compared to hiring an in-house estimator by signing up for our monthly takeoff packages. These packages enable them to bid on more projects, increasing the chance of winning.
