What is construction cost estimating?
Cost estimating is the process of forecasting the full cost of building a project: materials, labor, equipment, subcontractors, overhead and profit.
A good estimate starts with an accurate quantity takeoff, then applies current unit costs for the project location. The result is a budget you can bid, negotiate and manage against.
Frequently Asked Questions
What files do you need?

Yes. We use city cost indexes and local supplier pricing for the project ZIP code or postcode.
Do you have a QA check?
Yes. Every cost estimating file is reviewed by a second specialist before delivery, so you receive work that is checked for errors and ready to use.
