Our Estimation Process Mechanical Estimates That Keep Projects on Track

Our process begins with a detailed review of drawings by experienced MEP specialists. They carefully study all notes, details, and specifications for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems.

The drawings are then uploaded into certified software such as Bluebeam, PlanSwift, FastWRAP, FastDUCT, FastPIPE, and Trimble.

Our certified estimators generate accurate takeoffs, which are reviewed by a senior estimator for quality and compliance with standards and codes.

Every line item is quantified and clearly described in Excel sheets. We create bid-winning estimates with complete details for procurement and supply. After peer review, we deliver reliable residential, commercial, and industrial estimates to our clients.
