Single Family Residential Estimating Services

Single Family Residential Estimating Services to Developers & Contractors

We heard the needs of contractors, developers, and homeowners! That’s why we have developed a phase-wise approach where you can come at any stage of your single-family residential construction and get the accurate bid proposal:

Preliminary Estimating Phase

If you do not have the complete design or drawings, still we calculate material and labor costs. This kind of breakdown displays all the hidden costs and possible differences that guide you to make informed decisions before starting your project.

• We conduct feasibility analysis to analyze project specifications.
• Single-family residential estimating calculates the preliminary material and labor costs using historical data and similar projects.
• The team finds out cost-driving elements to support informed decision-making for project scope and design.

Design Development Phase

This is the stage where you submit the refined plans, so we provide you with a detailed estimate of required components according to the developing design. It includes:

• We quantify materials based on architectural and structural drawings.
• Then add material takeoffs for major components such as foundations, framing, and roofing.

Pre-Construction Phase

Before construction begins, and after getting the design plans, we offer precise estimates to finalize budgets and resource allocation strategies. In this, we verify the costs and assess bid adherence with project specifications. This includes:

• Division-wise breakdown of costs per CSI MasterFormat standards.
• Get information by using software, local market trends, vendor pricing, and regional cost fluctuations.
• Prepare a bid document so that you can win the project.

Change Order Estimate

The project details are usually modified during construction and in that case, we address modifications to maintain budget control and timeline efficiency. For this:

• We analyze the change order request, including new or revised design elements and specifications.
• Calculate additional material quantities or labor requirements based on the revised scope and update the final document.

Materials We Quantify in Single-Family Residential Takeoffs

How Do We Calculate Single-Family Residential Quantity Takeoff Costs?

Our single-family residential construction estimators calculate material takeoff costs between 1,600 and 4,300 square feet. The process is simple as they measure the total square footage of all areas requiring materials, including walls, floors, ceilings, roofs, and external spaces such as patios and garages.

We then find the coverage rate of each material, which specifies how much area a single unit of material can cover. Then we divide the total area by the coverage rate and calculate the quantities of materials required without any overestimations or shortages.

After that, professional estimators make a detailed list of materials necessary for the project. This includes all the relevant CSI trades that will be required. In the end, we organize all costs division-wise in an easy-to-read CSI MasterFormat structure and present it to you in an Excel sheet.
