While providing construction estimating services, we start with reading the building drawings/plans and calculating the type and the number of materials required to build the specific building. The calculation of materials in terms of type and amount is called the construction quantity takeoffs. After calculating the quantity takeoffs, we calculate the cost of material as well as labor to be used in the construction phase. We get these numbers with a combination of paid services like RSMeans as well as the calculation of our experienced field engineers. They calculate the on-field productivity of the labor and the calculated numbers are put in an excel spreadsheet in an organized format and delivered to the client.
The process of construction estimating services is simple. Once we have the construction quantity takeoffs then we are ready for cost estimation. We calculate the construction cost of each and every corresponding line item using RSMeans. RSMeans is a highly accurate construction cost database by which we can get the changing market prices of construction materials. Construction cost estimators services get the prices of labor and materials along with the productivity of the labor from RSMeans. Additionally, our field engineers get the onfield productivity of the labor and calculate the real-life productivity to increase the profit margin of the contractor. The detailed construction cost estimating services is performed with everything broken down to show each minor detail to the client. The site estimate is performed in the first step covering each and every small detail.

In all types of construction estimation, no matter how detailed our estimates are, there are always a few minor things left. Some on purpose and some unintentionally. After the construction starts, there are a few missing things in the estimate which the contractor has to figure out. These are just a few minor things but all the essential and necessary details are taken off in an accurate estimate.
We need the project plans in pdf or dwg format as well as the scope on which we have to do the takeoff and we are ready. There may be a few RFIs during the project so we need immediate answers to our queries to avoid any delays.
Turnaround time completely depends on the size and complexity of the project. It may be completed in a single day or requires a few weeks to complete.
