Estimating Support Services
Quantity takeoffs and pricing research to back up your estimate.
Estimators stretched across multiple bids don't have enough hours in the day for the research-heavy parts of an estimate — quantity takeoffs from drawings, current material pricing — even though those hours matter as much as the judgment calls that come after.
We work from your drawings and specs to produce quantity takeoffs and current material pricing research, structured to plug directly into your estimate, so your estimator's time goes toward strategy and markup decisions instead of data entry.
What we do
- Review drawings and specs to identify quantities by scope or line item
- Produce quantity takeoffs in the format your estimating software or spreadsheet uses
- Research current material pricing from suppliers or distributors
- Note pricing volatility or lead time risk on flagged materials
- Cross-check takeoffs against the spec for completeness
- Deliver in a format ready to drop into your estimate
What you receive
- A quantity takeoff by scope or line item
- Current material pricing research with sources
- Notes on pricing or lead time risk
Typical turnaround
Estimating support turnaround depends on drawing complexity and bid deadline — typically 3 to 10 business days.
