Services
Material Takeoffs
Our material takeoffs quantify construction materials and labor for all trades, including concrete, masonry, and MEP systems. Using digital plans or blueprints, we generate Excel-based lists organized by CSI format or client templates. These detailed takeoffs help contractors reduce variances, streamline procurement, and improve project budgeting accuracy.
Conceptual Estimates
We create conceptual estimates using schematic drawings and historical cost data to assess project viability. Our estimates break down costs by CSI format and include square-foot benchmarks based on completed projects. This service helps clients evaluate design options and secure preliminary approvals before detailed planning begins.
Bank Estimates
Our bank-compliant estimates meet lender requirements for construction loans. Using Craftsman Residential Estimator data, we produce itemized Excel reports indexed to local market rates. These documents include color-coded audit trails and follow bank-specific templates to ensure approval readiness for owner-builders and contractors.
Field Audits
We conduct on-site material audits to validate quantities and identify variances during construction. Our team documents discrepancies, updates takeoffs, and provides revised material lists to improve future project accuracy. This service helps contractors control costs and maintain budget compliance throughout project execution.
Software Consulting
Our consulting services help contractors implement estimating software like PlanSwift and Agtek. We offer remote system setup, plugin customization, and advanced training on assembly creation and report generation. This support optimizes software efficiency and reduces the learning curve for construction teams.
