As a developer, precise residential estimates are essential, and Kelly Estimating is pro in it. The cost breakdowns, including contingencies and overheads, were accurate and allowed us to plan effectively. The team was responsive and cooperative.

Their detailed takeoffs for our home remodeling project were spot on. Their color-coded plans and labor cost estimates gave us a clear understanding of the scope and helped us avoid costly mistakes. I’ll get back to you soon for my next project!

Our Services

Residential Estimating for Developers & Contractors

For residential projects, to stay on budget, for accurate financial planning, and to meet design expectations, every contractor, developer, and architect needs a certain type of residential cost estimation! We provide everything under one roof:

Residential Construction Estimating

Conceptual Residential Estimating

For project feasibility and budget analysis, you need conceptual estimates. Our residential estimators provide early-stage cost predictions based on project scope and conceptual designs. The team presents a solid financial foundation for single-family, multi-family, or luxury home developments.

Commercial Projects Estimating

Preliminary Residential Estimates

Get this estimate when your design is partially complete. We calculate material and labor costs for substructures, superstructures, finishes & services. Our breakdowns display all the hidden costs and probable issues and guide you to make informed decisions from the project beginning through design reevaluation.

Industrial Projects Estimating

Final Pre-Construction Residential Estimates

Before construction begins, and after getting the design plans, we review contractor bids and ensure they align with current market pricing. In this, we verify the costs of material and labor, assess bid compliance with project specifications, and find any difference. It helps you developers to negotiate with contractors.

Freelance Estimating Service

Change Orders

USA construction projects experienced almost 35% modifications in plans. Our residential cost estimates evaluate the impact of design changes, scope adjustments, or unexpected conditions on materials, labor, and timelines. Then they quickly update changes by changes by type and format, and hand over complete documentation to you.

Preliminary Estimating

Bid Estimates

We offer residential bid estimates that calculate sq footage, material quantities, and labor costs by Xactimate, BlueBeam, RS Means, and Planswift. Almost 80% of construction projects require bids to secure contracts, so why not hire us to avoid inflated costs and ensure winning a proposal?

Key Materials Quantified in Residential Takeoffs

  • Masonry for Walls
  • Quantify Doors, Windows, Metal
  • Interior/Exterior Finishes

  • Concrete Required for Constructing Foundation, Driveway, or Paving
  • Materials Required for Sitework, Site Preparation, Excavation, & Landscaping

How Do We Calculate Residential Takeoff Costs?

Our residential estimating team follows a structured and precise method to calculate material takeoff costs for residential projects. It includes:

  • Measuring the total square footage of the project including all areas that will require material, such as walls, floors, ceilings, and exterior spaces.
  • Next, we find the coverage rate of each material that defines how much area a single unit of the material can cover.
  • After that, we divide the total square footage by the coverage rate to find out the material quantity required for the entire project.
  • Now our team then makes a list of materials needed to complete the residential project including structural materials, finishes, plumbing fixtures, electrical components, and more.
  • To estimate the cost, we analyze current market prices, vendor rates, and regional cost variations. We also consider the quality, brand, or any supplier-specific adjustments. Then we add the pricing and present the residential quantity takeoff estimate listed in CSI MasterFormat division-wise in an Excel sheet.
