The combination of technology with our expert estimators enables us to become accurate and competitive on quality that’s why we claim 99% accuracy on our material takeoffs

It varies depending on the project size and type. To give you an idea, we typically turnaround a lumber estimate on a single or two-story residential home within 24-36 hours from receiving the plans! On a single or two-story residential home quantifying slab through lintel, again we typically turn it around within 24-36 hours! Turnaround times for commercial projects vary from project to project due to the size, complexity, and uniqueness.

We primarily prepare the quantity surveys and estimates in Microsoft Excel. We are also proficient with PlanSwift and Quest Residential Estimator. You can also email us one of your Excel spreadsheets that have your cost codes and material codes. We will input the quantities that we estimate into your spreadsheet. Then you can send out this material list to your vendors for pricing then you can import the spreadsheet into your estimating system for budgets.

We can give you the material list in CSI MasterFormat or UniFormat. We can also prepare it based on the how you phase your work (ex. “Footer Steel” would have all the materials required for this phase of construction, grouped together). Or if you want us to customize the estimate to your needs we will gladly do so!
