About Us is the evolution of Construction Takeoffs and Estimating experience – carpenter, sub-contractor, general contractor. Selling, bidding, designing when required, material ordering and of course, building.
As a result, about us, indicates our experience has given us firsthand knowledge of what is required to bid various construction jobs. At some point in time, We’ve worn all of the hats.
Our line-item reports give you everything necessary to bid your jobs. On the contrary, we do not include the unnecessary details at the bidding stage which keeps our pricing cost effective.
The estimate reports are highly detailed without the unnecessary fluff that makes comprehending them difficult and confusing. The estimate reports are generated by trade. One report for framing, one report for drywall etc. Line items are generated for each task within the reports. For each line item, you will have quantities (sq ft, lin ft, each), material cost per unit and material cost and total per line item. Also, the production rate, man hours per unit and man hours total. We then include your labor cost per unit, labor cost total and total material and labor combined.
We follow that up with the total (your) cost per unit and total per line item. Incidentals such as tax, equipment rental, overhead, profit, supervision, fasteners, mobilization etc. are separate line items and all are editable. With everything editable, you have the ability to fine tune your bid to arrive at a number you feel comfortable submitting.
A lot of information to absorb, but our experience has funneled down just the absolute necessary information required to submit an accurate bid. Once you take a few minutes to review one of our reports, you’ll see that they are really very easy to understand and comprehend.
Our experience has fine-tuned our process so that the reports give you all of the information required to submit an accurate bid without capturing every nut and bolt which just drives up the cost to generate the reports and is really unnecessary for bidding purposes. Remember, this is an estimate for bidding purposes, not for the actual construction. By doing so, the cost is reflective and passed on to you.

In contrast to our competitors, we don’t try to be
everything to everyone. We specialize in the architectural trades. Divisions 5 through 10. No
