Complete, division-by-division cost estimates for general contractors who need the whole project priced, not just one trade.
A general contractor's bid has to account for every scope on the drawings, including work nobody on your team self-performs. General construction estimating pulls those scopes together into one priced document, so you can see the total project cost, compare subcontractor numbers against an independent baseline, and find gaps before bid day.
We organize the estimate by CSI MasterFormat division and separate general requirements from trade work, so the numbers are easy to review, adjust to your markups, and carry into your bid form.

How It Works

We confirm what will be measured, the estimate format and the delivery date before work starts.
Quantities are measured from the drawings, then priced for material, labor and equipment as requested.
We walk you through the estimate, answer questions and adjust it to your bid.
Construction Estimating FAQ
Yes. Tell us which divisions you self-perform and which you will subcontract. We can take off and price your self-performed work in detail and carry the subcontracted scopes as budget lines or detailed checks.
A takeoff measures quantities. A general construction estimate prices those quantities across every division and adds general conditions, allowances and markups, so you end up with a total project cost.
