Essential during the initial stages of a project, when details and specifications are limited. Conceptual estimates and takeoffs are crucial for evaluating the project's feasibility and conducting cost-benefit analyses.

Estimation: Using certified software such as Planswift, BlueBeam, and OST (OnScreenTakeoff), we meticulously prepare the takeoff and pricing for trades and significant line items. The estimate and takeoff sheet are then delivered in the client’s template or our own EXCEL sheets.
Pricing: Organizing the estimate with codes from the drawings or CSI codes, we apply relevant trade and code values. Our pricing considers zip code-based data and local vendor rates, taking into account factors like political impacts, labor wages, material logistics, inflation, site constraints, and more.
Final Audit: To ensure the quality of the estimate, an expert performs a final audit, guaranteeing accuracy and precision.
