Finishes estimating
Finishes decide the bid, and the profit
Interior and exterior finishes carry a large share of a building's cost. Painting, stucco, plaster and specialised coating estimates are what let a contractor quote a defensible price and order material with confidence, which is exactly why accuracy matters so much on this trade. A precise takeoff with current, location-based pricing removes that risk entirely.
Metallics, patinas, chrome and high-end finishes are expensive, and every excess order gets dumped as waste at the contractor's expense. Outsourcing your finishes estimates cuts in-house overhead and frees your team for bidding and site work, provided accuracy is guaranteed.
Ours is built on zip-code based material and labour pricing and the guidelines of AACE and AIQS.
