Pr3ciseConstruction estimating and quantity takeoff services
Full-service preconstruction support — estimating, quantity surveying and tender pricing — by trade or by project. Priced per job, delivered on a date we commit to in writing.
Quantity takeoff services
Measured quantities from your drawings, organized by CSI division or your own format, with color-coded markups. The foundation every other number rests on.
Cost estimating
Takeoff quantities priced with current regional material and labor rates, including equipment, overhead, profit and waste factors.
Conceptual and budget estimating
Early-stage numbers for feasibility and lender packages — the cost plan or pre-tender estimate stage — built from square-foot or square-metre rates and assembly pricing when drawings are still developing.
MEP estimating
Mechanical, electrical and plumbing priced as a package or by trade, including fire protection and low-voltage.
Structural and civil
Concrete, masonry, structural steel, earthwork and sitework, with formwork and rebar broken out rather than buried in an allowance.
Finishes and specialty trades
Drywall, framing, roofing, flooring, painting, glazing and millwork — quantified to the assembly, not estimated by floor area.
What is in every estimate we deliver
- Line-item breakdown by CSI MasterFormat division — or the classification your market works with — so it drops straight into your bid form or accounting system.
- Material, labor and equipment separated on every line, with labor hours and crew rates visible rather than rolled into a lump sum.
- Waste factors priced per material — tile, aggregate and steel do not waste at the same rate, and pretending they do costs money on procurement.
- Overhead and profit broken out as their own lines, adjustable to your numbers, so your margin survives a bid review.
- Color-coded takeoff markups showing where each quantity came from, so any line can be audited in seconds.
- A written scope and exclusions list — what we included, what we did not, and what the drawings left ambiguous.
- One revision round included, for addenda, spec changes or price updates.
Where we work
We work remotely with contractors anywhere in the world — the United States and Europe account for most of our work today — pricing every project with cost data for the market it is actually in rather than a national average. Some markets carry rules that change the number throughout the building, and those we know in depth — South Florida in particular, where every project falls under the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements of Miami-Dade.
