About us
Every contracting business needs a good construction estimator to turn plans into a proposal that holds up. You can hire our estimating team for a single project or bring in a dedicated estimator to work on all your bids.
The role
A construction estimator puts together the full cost proposal for a project and works closely with owners, architects, designers, and contractors. The goal is to find the true cost of the work based on its scope and size by counting every material, pricing the labor, and working out how long the build will take.
At Estimator Expert we go one step further and set the man-hours for every line item in every trade. That way you can see exactly where the money and labor sit before you commit to a number.
Our construction estimators use Plan swift, Bluebeam, Trimble, RS Means, CostWorks, Xactimate, Fast PIPE, Fast DUCT and Quest Estimating, and they follow recognized cost-engineering practices for measurement and pricing.
Our clients
General contracting firms, subcontractors, developers, architects, home builders, owners and vendors delivering both private and public projects.
Sectors
We have separate teams for residential, commercial, and civil work, so your bid is measured by an estimator who prices that exact type of scope every week.
From a small home build to a high-rise apartment, our residential team prepares a precise bill of materials for new construction and remodeling projects, including single-family, multi-family, modular and custom homes, condominiums, and townhouses.
Whether you need an office building priced per square foot or a full construction-document estimate for a shopping mall, we deliver takeoffs for offices, warehouses, theaters, auditoriums, retail spaces, healthcare facilities and parking structures.
Civil contractors building highways, bridges, dams, and utility works get detailed bid estimates and material takeoffs designed to support bid proposals and procurement.
All CSI divisions
Every trade is reviewed by a specialist who understands its waste factors, crew productivity rates, supply conditions, and installation practices, so your takeoff reflects how the work is really done.
Scope of work
Dedicated packages
Our monthly takeoff packages start at $1,500 and can cut your estimating overhead by around 60%. You get an estimator who is committed to your jobs, finalizes your bids accurately, and gives you advice on how to file them competitively.
Turnaround time is quoted for each project based on the real scope of work. Most contractors on a monthly package get 10 to 12 jobs estimated within their plan.
