Blueprint Estimating Services
DO YOU KNOW you can use blueprint estimates to cross-check against a contractor’s bid? It’s true! These estimates offer an analysis of a project’s scope, material takeoff, and other requirements. When contractors submit bids for a project, they create their estimates on the project’s blueprints.
When you get professional blueprint estimating services, you can use the final document as an assessment against measurement errors, missing information, budget differences, and more with the help of detailed insights from the construction drawings.

How Do We Calculate Blueprint Estimates?
There is no complex method, our blueprint estimating company follows a simple process to ensure accuracy as a priority. You need to hand over the basic blueprint components, such as elevation drawings of all sides of the structure, foundation plans, cross-section drawings, roof and floor plans, and electrical layouts.
We dig into the details with the use of software, and we perform on-screen takeoffs, by importing all information into the software to generate accurate estimates.
