Full Material Take-offs
Our commitment to precision is evident in our approach to full material take-offs. This involves loading plans into our advanced estimating software, scaling them accurately, and measuring various items such as wall lengths, floor areas, roof areas, siding, and finishes. The compiled material quantities, along with their unit measurements, are organized into an Excel spreadsheet. Additionally, we account for material wastage (typically 5% to 10%) to provide a detailed material take-off list. This list serves multiple purposes, from obtaining accurate pricing quotes from local suppliers to facilitating efficient inventory management during construction.
Residential Estimates
Our construction estimating services extend seamlessly to home builders and residential contractors across California. With a wealth of experience, we have successfully estimated single-family houses, duplexes, triplexes, and apartment complexes. The pricing structure for estimating residential projects is tailored, reflecting our nuanced understanding of the distinct requirements and challenges posed by residential construction.
Full Cost Estimates
Going beyond material take-offs, we offer full cost estimates for California-based construction projects. Once material quantities are estimated, our focus shifts to labor and equipment requirements. The resultant spreadsheet incorporates material and labor unit costs, equipment costs, and other general line items such as mobilization, supervision, project controls, permit fees, and closeouts. This comprehensive approach ensures a detailed budget aligned with California building codes and CSI divisions. To further safeguard your profitability, we add a percentage for contingencies, overheads, and profits.
