Which service fits your job
Most contractors know what they're building. Fewer know which of these services matches where they are in the project. Two quick questions sort it out: what's the building, and how much have you got on paper yet?
If you know what you're building
RESIDENTIAL
Homes and small builds
Custom homes, additions, subdivisions, and everything from 1,000 sq ft starter homes upward. The takeoff follows the Canadian and provincial building codes that apply where you're building.
COMMERCIAL
Offices, retail and institutional
Mixed trades, tight schedules, more addenda than anyone wants. Commercial bids usually turn on how well the takeoff handles every trade scope, and all 33 CSI divisions go into one estimate.
INDUSTRIAL
Plants and large facilities
Facilities up to 500,000 sq ft, with process and equipment scopes priced next to the building. Bring the specs and we'll tell you what we need to see first.
TAKEOFF ONLY
Quantities without the pricing
Already have a pricing system and a cost database? Send the plans, take the counts back in Excel or PDF, and price them yourself.
If you're earlier, later or somewhere in between
PRELIMINARY
Drawings aren't finished yet
The lender, the owner or your own budget needs a number before the design is done. Preliminary estimating covers early-stage cost planning, and you can firm it up as the drawings do.
RENOVATION AND REMODELING
Existing conditions are the wildcard
We price what the drawings show, then list what they don't in the clarifications so nothing hides inside the number.
RESTORATION
Heritage and historic work
Scope shifts once walls open up. Restoration estimating is built for that kind of uncertainty, not for a clean new build.
FREELANCE
Estimator help without the payroll
Your own team is stretched, or you need one trade priced, or it's a one-off bid. Flexible support beats hiring for a busy month.
COST ESTIMATING
