Inside a multi-family estimate
Multi-family estimates built around repeatable unit types, so a change to one unit plan rolls through the whole building count. Site work, podium or garage structure, amenity space and common areas are priced separately from the unit packages. Every multi-family quantity is measured on screen from your own drawings and specifications, then priced with zip-code based material and labour rates rather than national averages.
You receive the multi-family numbers in an editable Excel workbook, organised by CSI division, with a colour-coded plan set behind every line item so each figure can be traced back to the sheet it came from.
A trade estimator who works on multi-family packages every week handles the file, confirms the fee and delivery date before opening the drawings, and lists every assumption and exclusion in writing.
Included in every engagement
- Per-unit-type takeoff with building-wide roll-up
- Common area, amenity and corridor scope priced separately

- Site utilities, paving and landscape scope
