Our Estimation Workflow

• Scope Analysis: We begin with a comprehensive review of blueprints, project details, and requirements. A formal meeting is held to identify the scope of work and assign tasks to trade specialist estimators.
• Document Review & Importing Plans: Our team thoroughly reviews documents and specifications provided by the client. Specialized estimators import plans using the latest software and apply a point and click method to determine dimensions, scales, and digitally capture quantities.
• Digital Takeoff Process: Through precise digital takeoff, we measure all required materials, labor, and equipment using advanced tools. This step ensures no elements are overlooked and avoids overspending by improving budget planning accuracy.
• Quantity Export & Categorization: The on-screen quantities are exported into structured EXCEL spreadsheets, then categorized by division and pattern based on the CSI format.
• Cost Calculation: We integrate location-specific vendor rates using our strong connections with local vendors and tools like RSMeans. Cost data reflects real-time pricing, with calculations considering zip codes, union labor, prevailing wages, standard time, and overtime.
• Final Review & Quality Control: Before delivery, a lead estimator performs a detailed cross-check for quality assurance and control. The estimate is refined for accuracy, ensuring a reliable, error-free, and cost-effective result for any commercial construction project.
