Commercial Estimating Services
Accurate, efficient, and professional commercial estimating services designed for commercial general contractors, subcontractors, commercial zone developers, lenders, architectural, engineering, and design firms.
Professional Commercial Construction Estimating
Commercial estimating requires sound and in-depth technical knowledge along with precision and experience. We believe that an accurate estimate serves as a primary tool for budget creation and cost control throughout the lifecycle of the project.
Our estimators have extensive experience in commercial takeoffs and estimation with a diversified portfolio in North American, the Caribbean, and Australian construction industries including renovation, restoration, addition, and new construction. Each project is reviewed by senior project managers with past experience estimating a substantial commercial portfolio of projects.
Commercial Estimating Services
Most Accurate & Detailed Commercial Estimates
At BuildEstimatePro, we provide the most accurate and detailed commercial estimates containing all the details with line item descriptions along with colored marked-up plans. The pricing for material, labor, and equipment is done through our developed construction cost databases and RSMeans. We ensure the accuracy of the estimate according to the location of the project by employing zip code based pricing.
Preliminary & Pre-construction Commercial Estimates
Commercial developers have to estimate the figures and amount even before the development of plans to analyze the feasibility of the project. Our portfolio of million-dollar evaluation of projects, software expertise, and historical data helps us build reliable preliminary commercial estimates and feasibility reports. Our highly detailed pre-construction final commercial estimates contribute to providing the basis for planning proposals, getting loans, allocating funds, managing costs, and negotiating with contractors.
Design-phase Estimates & Budget Creation
Our estimating team thoroughly engages with architects and designers involved with commercial projects providing cost evaluations for various design alternatives throughout the design phase. This aids the design team to analyze and customize the design parameters according to their client's budget limits avoiding additional costs or overruns at a later stage. Our design phase estimates include the conceptual, schematic design, design development, and construction document estimates.
Comprehensive Design-Build Estimates
We have successfully delivered estimating services and value engineering to design-build firms that are responsible for design and construction under the same contract. Our design-build estimates determine all the associated costs even at the early stage of design nearly at the 50% completion of designs that help the owners to make critical decisions.
Our Estimation Process
Our systematic approach ensures accuracy, consistency, and quality in every commercial estimate we deliver.
Formal Meeting & Scope Identification
The estimation process at BuildEstimatePro starts with a formal meeting of estimators to discuss and identify the scope of work. This also includes the allocation of tasks to trade specialist estimators.
Document Review & Import
After reviewing the project documents and specifications provided by the client, the trade specialized estimators import the plans using the latest software and measure the dimensions and scales by the point and click method to digitally takeoff the quantities.
Digital Takeoff & Export
After performing the on-screen takeoffs, all the material quantities are exported to EXCEL spreadsheets and categorized by division or by the pattern of CSI costs.
Pricing & Cost Analysis
Our connections with local vendors and RSMeans help in the accurate and zip code based pricing for material and labor costs are categorized with respect to union and prevailing wages including standard time and overtime.
Quality Assurance & Control
Finally, a cross-check is performed by the lead estimator for the quality assurance and quality control of the project deliverables.
