What is included in a residential construction estimate?
A residential estimate can include quantity takeoffs, material costs, labor, equipment, subcontractors, allowances, alternates, and scope clarifications. The exact breakdown depends on whether the project is new construction, renovation, or multifamily work.
Can DEKR estimate Philadelphia rowhouse renovations?
Yes. DEKR provides residential estimating for renovation projects as well as custom homes, apartments, condominiums, and multifamily developments. Existing-condition assumptions should be clearly identified when they cannot be confirmed from drawings.
Can I order a residential quantity takeoff without cost pricing?
Yes. DEKR provides quantity takeoffs separately, including material summaries, marked-up plans, measurement worksheets, and Excel or PDF reports. Contractors can then apply their own labor rates and supplier pricing.
Can a residential estimate be updated after the plans change?
Yes. Revised drawings and addenda can change quantities across several trades. DEKR offers revision support to keep takeoffs and estimates aligned with the latest documents.
What residential building code currently applies in Philadelphia?
For permit applications beginning July 1, 2026, Philadelphia uses the 2021 International Residential Code with applicable Pennsylvania and local modifications, alongside other relevant building, energy, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical requirements. Project teams should verify requirements for the specific project with Philadelphia's Department of Licenses and Inspections.
