#1 Estimating Company
Here’s What We Can Offer You!
At 1800 Estimating, you can get reliable construction estimation and consultation services. With us, you can make the right decisions and complete the projects on time.
Preliminary Estimates
Before committing to a project, clients need to know whether it is financially feasible. Our preliminary estimate services provide a reliable idea of the overall projected costs. These estimates are made using incomplete drawings, historical data, and even assumptions. We deliver accurate conceptual estimates that help you assess the viability of your project and make informed decisions.
Bidding Assistance
We offer bid-filling and assistance tailored to help you stand out. Our team compiles bid documents, reviews specifications, and prepares professional proposals. These items highlight your project strengths while reducing risks. We also analyze bidding forms so that all requirements are met. You can submit competitive bids with us, improving your chances of securing profitable construction projects.
Quantity Takeoffs (QTO)
Accurate takeoffs form the foundation of every winning cost estimate. We offer detailed quantity takeoff services that cover the exact amounts of materials and labor needed. Our estimators measure in units such as count, area, length, and volume. So, every item is accounted for. This precision allows you to place accurate orders, reduce the waste ratio, and ensure a smoother construction process.
Change Order Estimates
Design modifications, site conditions, or client requests often cause a project scope to change. Our change order estimates ensure these variations are documented clearly. We break down labor, materials, and overhead so that you can understand the financial impact of revisions. This transparency prevents disputes, maintains trust, and ensures that your project stays financially manageable.
CPM Scheduling
We provide CPM scheduling services that outline resource allocation and efficient timelines. These schedules identify the most important project milestones and highlight potential pitfalls. By updating schedules as work progresses, we help you stay on track in managing delays and reallocating resources.
Budget Estimates
A well-structured budget is essential for keeping projects on schedule. We deliver budget estimates that cover direct and indirect costs, labor, materials, and contingencies. These estimates provide a financial roadmap that you can rely on during the planning phase. With our clear, itemized reports, you get complete visibility into where your money is going.
Material Takeoffs
Our material takeoffs provide accurate counts for everything from concrete and steel to insulation, piping, and electrical parts. By offering precise material lists, we help you reduce waste, prevent shortages, and negotiate better deals with suppliers.
Design Estimating
For architects and designers, balancing creativity with practicality is key. Our design estimating services close the gap between vision and budget. We provide cost feedback during the design phase. Our pre-construction cost estimation enables you to refine concepts while maintaining financial feasibility.
