Our Approach to Mechanical Estimating
Our approach to mechanical estimating begins with a thorough analysis of the drawing plans to clearly define the scope of work and identify any hidden costs or potential errors, leveraging our extensive practical experience.
We then utilize the latest on-screen takeoff software to import the plans, allowing us to accurately measure quantities with precision using a point-and-click method. Once the takeoff is complete, we export all quantities into easily editable Excel spreadsheets, which include a detailed breakdown of each item, organized by CSI cost codes or tailored to meet the client’s specific needs.
For pricing, we rely on trusted sources like RSMeans, Craftsman, and our highly accurate database, which provides up-to-date, location-specific material and labor costs.
Finally, a senior estimator conducts a quality check to ensure that the estimate meets all client requirements and is ready for use.
