Our range of industrial estimating services
Industrial project takeoffs
Software proficiency
We work fluently across the leading estimating and takeoff platforms.
Discipline-specific industrial estimating
Structural steel estimating
Our estimators and engineers are skilled in steel estimation and have served many structural steel contractors and design firms involved in steel erection for multi-story buildings and industrial facilities. Detailed takeoffs cover channels, beams, angles, plates, connectors and accessories — helping with planning, bidding and procurement while minimizing waste. We generally quantify:
Electrical estimating
Our electrical estimators bring deep knowledge of electrical system components and installation, with the flexibility to estimate projects of all types and sizes — new construction, remodeling, lighting and grounding. Using Trimble, Planswift, Bluebeam and ConEst, we deliver detailed material and labor takeoffs with color-coded marked-up plans for:
Mechanical estimating
Our mechanical estimators provide detailed material takeoffs, cost estimates, procurement and cost management for mechanical contractors, piping contractors, fabricators, project managers and engineering firms. Proficient with Planswift, FastPIPE, FastDUCT, FastWRAP and Trimble, we perform takeoffs for:
Insulation takeoffs
Piping takeoffs
Our systematic approach to industrial estimating
Define the scope
Estimators and engineers analyze specifications and plans, break down elements, and identify process systems and any missing information.
Extract & quantify
Using the latest software, we extract data from drawings, P&IDs and PFDs to quantify each component for labor and material takeoffs.
Price with zip-code data
We apply zip-code-based pricing via RSMeans and our own database, factoring location, logistics, permits, equipment rentals, contingencies and indirect costs.
Lead estimator cross-check
A final cross-check ensures the estimate complies with project goals. Deliverables are Excel spreadsheets in MasterFormat or UniFormat, customizable to your needs.
