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.
