Estimating Support.
Built for New Jersey Projects.
Our construction cost estimating process reviews architectural, structural, civil, and MEP drawings together with specifications, schedules, bid documents, alternates, and addenda before defining scope, completing quantity takeoffs, and developing material, labor, equipment, subcontractor, general-condition, and other project costs.
Construction Cost Estimating
Detailed cost estimates covering materials, labor, equipment, subcontractor costs, direct and indirect costs, general conditions, temporary requirements, allowances, alternates, logistics, trade breakdowns, marked-up drawings, assumptions, exclusions, and project-specific costs.
- Residential, commercial & multifamily
- Detailed line-item cost breakdowns
- Value engineering recommendations
- CSI-formatted deliverables
Quantity Takeoff
Quantity takeoffs form the cost foundation by measuring concrete, reinforcement, masonry, framing, drywall, roofing, flooring, painting, fixtures, MEP components, and other trade-specific work before unit material, labor, equipment, or subcontractor costs are applied.
- PDF & CAD plan takeoffs
- Earthwork, steel & finishes
- Itemised Excel & PDF reports
- Architect & engineer coordination
Bid Preparation
Construction cost estimating can incorporate supplier quotes, labor productivity, equipment rental and duration, subcontractor proposals, general conditions, site logistics, freight, delivery, waste, allowances, alternates, addenda, and project-specific requirements before the contractor applies overhead, profit, contingency, and risk.
- MasterFormat CSI reports
- Subcontractor scope drafts
- Addendum monitoring
- Competitive bid strategies
Pre-Construction Estimating
Construction cost estimating can support preliminary budgets, pre-construction planning, design comparisons, value engineering, procurement strategy, detailed bids, addenda, and revisions. As the design develops, early assumptions can be replaced with measured quantities and more specific pricing.
- Conceptual & schematic estimates
- Cost-per-sqft benchmarking
- Cash flow projections
- Owner's project budgets

Quantity-Based Cost Estimates
Construction cost estimating begins with current drawings, specifications, schedules, bid documents, and addenda. Scope, quantities, material pricing, labor, equipment, subcontractor coverage, general conditions, allowances, assumptions, and marked-up information are organized so teams can understand how the project total was developed.
Materials, Labor & Equipment
Most standard estimates can be delivered within 24–72 hours depending on project size, scope, and document completeness.
Cost Planning & Bid Support
Use the cost estimate to review direct and indirect costs, material pricing, labor productivity, equipment, subcontractor quotes, general conditions, logistics, alternates, allowances, procurement issues, addenda, assumptions, exclusions, and current project requirements.
