Preliminary Design Estimates
We provide preliminary flooring estimates during the design phase when the details are incomplete. This estimate is based on given data and similar historical projects. The purpose of this type of estimate is to set the budget and analyze the feasibility. We offer:
- Approximate costs for various flooring types, finishes, and installation methods.
- Know about profit and potential risks.
- Flexibility to adjust designs based on a given estimate.
Flooring Estimation Process
Our approach is to simplify manual calculating flooring estimates by going digital with the help of professional tools and software such as PlanSwift, BlueBeam, RS Means, and more. We begin with getting an overview of your flooring blueprints or drawing plans.
Our team imports the details into the software and gets the exported data of materials and quantities by type, size, and specifications. For a material price calculation, our flooring estimators use RSMeans and other construction cost tools to get accurate cost estimates based on specific zip codes and current market rates.
Additionally, we calculate labor costs according to their working hours, and equipment costs on demands that include the pricing of required tools and machinery for the project. In the end, we perform a quality check to ensure that all estimates meet the client’s requirements. Then we deliver the final document to our clients in CSI MasterFormat.
