Customer's Help
Frequently Asked Questions
Most estimates are delivered within 24 to 48 hours, depending on the size and complexity of your project. For large-scale or multi-trade projects, turnaround may take up to 3 business days, but we always confirm the timeline before we begin.
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.
We cover a wide range of trades, including concrete, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, roofing, and flooring. We also provide design development services, including shop drawings, CAD drafting, architectural renderings, and clash detection. Whether you need a single-trade estimate or a full project breakdown, we have the expertise to handle it.
Yes. We work on all project types, from small residential renovations and home builds to large-scale commercial developments and industrial projects across the USA and Canada.
Our pricing depends on the scope and complexity of your project. We offer competitive, transparent rates with no hidden fees. Contact us with your project details, and we'll provide a quick quote before we begin.
Absolutely. Every estimate we deliver is bid-ready, formatted, itemized, and detailed enough to submit directly to general contractors, owners, or project managers without any extra work on your end.
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.
Yes, we work with all of them. Whether you're a subcontractor pricing a single trade, a general contractor managing multiple scopes, or a developer budgeting a new build, our estimating services are built to fit your workflow.
While no estimate can account for unforeseen site conditions or last-minute scope changes, our estimates are built to be as precise as possible. If your project scope changes after delivery, we can revise the estimate to reflect the updated plans.
We use industry-standard tools, including Bluebeam, PlanSwift, and RSMeans, to ensure every estimate is precise, data-backed, and built to current market rates.
Yes. All project plans, drawings, and documents shared with us are handled with complete confidentiality. Your information is never shared with third parties.
