    Proven Method for Providing Commercial Estimates

    We begin by getting your requirements, blueprints, designs, drawings, and everything according to your chosen service package. Then, we analyze the scope of the project and assign tasks to specialized commercial trade estimators. They review everything and digitally perform calculations for quantity takeoffs, material, and labor costs, inclusions, exclusions, overhead and profit, etc.

    After getting the required data we export the estimate to the Excel spreadsheet according to the category of CSI MasterFormat. In the end, we check for quality assurance and deliver it to the client within 12 to 24 hours. Isn’t it so simple? Yes, but it needs technical expertise, accuracy, experience, and connections with local vendors, and contractors.
