Our Bid-Winning Blueprint Estimating Process

When it comes to winning bids, precision plays a vital role. Our blueprint takeoff and estimating process is simple, yet effective. It helps contractors and builders prepare competitive proposals that raise their chances of landing more contracts.

The first step is to understand the project scope. Our blueprint estimator carefully reviews the project drawings and plans to define the project’s requirements and scope of work clearly. This makes sure nothing is missed, whether it’s materials, quantities, or specific items.

Then, our team moves on to quantity takeoff services. This means we count and measure all the materials and components required, such as concrete, steel, lumber takeoffs, MEP parts, or finishes. We use modern estimating software, so every measurement is precise. Thus, reducing the risk of errors.

After quantity takeoffs, we apply the latest market rates of labor and materials based on ZIP codes. This ensures your estimate reflects real-world costs. Before delivery, our senior estimators double-check the bid estimates to guarantee accuracy.
