Federal Estimating saved us on a tight commercial bid. The numbers were accurate, the turnaround was fast, and the format was ready to submit. We won the job.
Built by an Engineer, Trusted by Contractors Across the Globe!
Federal Estimating began over a decade ago when an engineer saw contractors losing bids due to inaccurate estimates, not poor workmanship. Estimates were rushed, unreliable, and costly. So we built a better solution: precise, detailed, bid-ready estimates that help contractors win work and protect profits.

Accuracy Isn't a Feature Here — It's a Foundation
At Federal Estimating, we believe a single inaccurate number can derail an entire project. That's why accuracy and attention to detail sit at the core of everything we do. Every estimate we produce goes through a rigorous review process before it reaches your inbox because we understand that your business, your reputation, and your profit margins depend on getting it right the first time. The same standard applies to our design work — every drawing, rendering, and shop drawing we produce is reviewed with the same precision we bring to every estimate.
Whether you're pricing your next big commercial project, need a fast turnaround on a residential bid, or require design development support, Federal Estimating is ready to deliver. Let's get your numbers right and get you back to building.

We only need your project plans, drawings, or blueprints to get started. If you have specifications, scope of work documents, or any additional project details, those help us deliver an even more precise estimate.
Our estimates are built using up-to-date material pricing, regional labor rates, and trade-specific data, typically achieving 95%+ accuracy. Every estimate goes through a thorough review before delivery to make sure nothing is missed or mispriced.

A construction takeoff is the process of measuring and quantifying all materials needed for a project from the drawings. An estimate builds on the takeoff by adding labor costs, equipment, overhead, and profit margins to give you the full project cost. We provide both as part of our service.
