What We Deliver
Our Cost Estimating and Quantity Takeoff services include:
Detailed Cost Estimates
We assess your project documentation—architectural plans, specifications, finishes schedules, and engineering drawings—to produce a complete breakdown of material, labour, and trade costs. Each estimate is tailored to your preferred format and level of detail.
Accurate Quantity Takeoffs
We measure and quantify every component required for construction, from concrete and framing to finishes and fixtures. All quantities are provided in Excel spreadsheets with clear labelling and organization for easy integration with your workflow.
Trade-by-Trade Breakdown
We provide itemized estimates by trade or scope, making it easier for builders to obtain quotes, manage subcontractors, and plan procurement.
Optional Quote Write-Ups
We can include a clear, client-facing Scope of Work or Quote Write-Up in MS Word, designed to help you present your estimates professionally and win more jobs.
Tools & Methods We Use
