Preliminary Estimating Services for Construction Projects in the USA

Contractors and builders contact us to get preliminary estimating services based on square foot costs for construction projects that are in the planning phase, schematic design phase, drawing development phase, or budgeting process. Our preliminary cost estimates give an overview of all expenses that help contractors and builders set a realistic budget early on. Moreover, our estimators have over 20 years of experience providing preliminary estimates for residential, commercial, and industrial construction projects with 30%, 60%, or 80% incomplete drawings without compromising accuracy.

Our bill of materials for preliminary estimation projects usually contains the total areas in square feet, meters (height, width, and length of walls and structure), and area of units, such as rooms, floors, roofs, and many others. We use the latest estimation software (AutoCAD, PlanSwift, Trimble, Bleu Beam, BIM, Craftsmen, and RS Means) and historical data to calculate the quantities and their costs per unit using the zip code-based pricing. Upload project plans and get accurate preliminary estimates within 8 to 20 hours. Call us now!
