Material takeoffs are available in PDF and Excel formats. It contains a list of all the materials and tasks needed for the project. Each item is listed division by division and is referenced with the specific drawing from which the quantity is calculated.
Send us the project plans and drawings along with your takeoff and estimate needs to receive a free quote that includes costs and a turnaround time. After the proposal has been approved, we will send you an online-payable invoice.
For small residential work, our turnaround time is typically three days. We typically need 4 to 7 working days for large commercial jobs. It also depends on how busy we are. The pricing and turnaround time will be provided to you as soon as you provide us with the project blueprints.
Our services are available in the USA only.
A construction cost estimate is a necessary part of the planning process for any construction project. It gives the client or owner an idea of the likely cost of the project, based on the scope of work and the current market conditions.
A professional estimator normally creates the estimate, taking into account a number of variables such as the cost of materials, labour, and equipment. Once the estimate is complete, it can be used to negotiate a contract price with the contractor.
Construction cost estimation is the process of predicting the cost of building a physical structure. Accurate cost estimation is important because it allows developers to know how much money they need to raise, and it also allows them to determine whether a project is feasible.
Estimators use a variety of methods to calculate the expected costs, including material pricing lists, square footage calculations, and assembly time standards. They also take into account the unique circumstances of each project, such as the location, climate, and type of construction.
One common mistake is failing to account for all of the costs associated with the project. For example, many estimators only Include the cost of materials and labour in their estimates. However, there are numerous other costs that must be considered, such as the cost of permits and inspections. Another mistake is failing to take into account the difficulty of the project. Finally, many estimators do not allow for contingencies.
The estimator should get involved as early as possible in the process so that he or she can accurately assess the scope of the work and identify potential problems. By staying involved and informed, the estimator can help to ensure that the construction project stays on track and on budget.
We provide free plan reviews before sending you a proposal with costs and turnaround times. After approving the proposal, only then do you pay.
The cost depends on the size of the project scope ranging from $100 to $450. A single trade residential project would cost around $150 and $450 for a full GC commercial project.
