Types Of Mechanical Estimates We Deliver
We serve construction contractors in division 20 in CSI MasterFormat. We provide bid documents for commercial, residential, and industrial projects covering mechanical estimates. Here are our mechanical cost-estimating services:
Mechanical Insulation Estimates
Mechanical insulation involves adding a layer of thermal insulation to mechanical systems whether ducts or piping. We deliver estimates after understanding your project requirements, whether it is ductwork insulation or a removable insulation system. We use updated software like FastWRAP or FastDUCT to guarantee accuracy in every dimension, shape, and material.
Mechanical Piping Estimating
Kelly Estimating ensures the estimates cover required aspects of mechanical piping like HVAC, hydraulic, process, and powerplant piping. The estimating documents cover a cost analysis of materials, labor, and equipment costs. Such estimates help contractors make their bids attractive and ensure the welding, fabrication, and installation process is smooth.
Mechanical Fabrication Estimates
Other than installation, our mechanical estimators consider the need to provide mechanical fabrication estimates that cover the making of piping, plumbing, and sheet metal systems. With our detailed and specific material costs, labor hours, and fabrication workflow contractors ensure smooth production processes and avoid unexpected expenses.
How Do We Calculate Mechanical Estimates?
Our mechanical estimating team follows a structured process to provide accurate and reliable estimates. We begin by understanding the scope of your project by finding the hidden costs, errors, and requirements.
Then get a digital plan by importing the plans to software such as PlanSwift, and BlueBeam to get the linear, area, weight, and volume measurements to provide accurate material and labor cost estimates.
Next, we export the quantified data into Excel spreadsheets. These spreadsheets include a list of materials, labor, and quantities, organized by CSI cost codes. By using RS Means, a zip-code database, we calculate material and labor costs and finally, we recheck everything and deliver the deliverables to our client.
