About Us
Who We Are, What We Do and Why It Matters to Your Business
1800 Estimating is a dedicated construction takeoff and estimating company serving contractors, subcontractors, general contractors and builders across all 50 United States. We exist for one purpose: to give every contractor the professional estimating support they need to submit accurate bids, compete confidently and win more contracts.
Our Story
Our founder spent years inside the construction industry watching skilled, hardworking contractors struggle with one of the most critical and most overlooked parts of their business: the estimate. Not because they lacked skill. Not because they didn’t know construction. But because accurate, professional estimating takes time, tools and trade-specific expertise that most contractors simply don’t have the bandwidth to develop while running a full operation.
The solution wasn’t complicated. Build a team of dedicated estimating professionals. Give them the tools, the data and the systems to produce precise estimates fast. And make those services accessible to every contractor, not just the big firms with in-house estimating departments. That’s exactly what we did. Today, 1800 Estimating is one of the most trusted construction estimating companies in the United States with over thousands estimates delivered, clients in every state and a track record of helping contractors win bids across every major trade and project type.
What We Do?
We provide these core services and we do both exceptionally well:
Construction Takeoff Services
A quantity takeoff is the foundation of every accurate bid. Before you can price a project, you need to know exactly how much material is required down to every square foot, linear foot, cubic yard and unit count.
Our takeoff specialists work from your plans, drawings and specifications to produce complete, organized and accurate material quantity lists broken down by trade, by scope and by the format that works best for your bid. Whether it’s a single trade or a full project scope, our takeoffs give you the precise quantity data you need to price your bid accurately and competitively.
What our takeoffs include:
- Complete material quantity calculations per trade
- Clear, labeled output organized by scope
- Excel or PDF format, your choice
- Delivered in 24 hours
- Prepared from your actual project plans
Construction Estimating Services
A takeoff tells you how much. An estimate tells you how much it costs. Our estimating service goes a step further applying current US material pricing, regional labor rates and trade-specific cost data to your quantities to produce a complete, bid-ready cost estimate.
Both services are available as standalone options or together giving you either the quantities, the full costs, or both, depending on what your bid requires.
What our estimates include:
- Material costs at current US market pricing
- Labor cost calculations based on trade and region
- Summary and detailed breakdown sheets
- CSI MasterFormat structure available on request
- Delivered in 24 hours depending on scope
Our Mission
To make professional-grade construction estimating accessible to every contractor in America so they can bid with confidence, compete on equal footing, and build businesses that last. We measure our success by one thing: how many bids our clients win.
