What Is Multifamily Estimating
Multifamily estimating is the process of pricing apartment, condo and townhome buildings. It covers sitework, foundations, framing, rated assemblies, roofing, openings, MEP, finishes, specialties and amenities like pools, courtyards and parking.
Multifamily projects repeat the same unit many times, so one mistake is multiplied across the building. We take off each unit type once in PlanSwift and Bluebeam and multiply it by the unit count, then add corridors and common areas, so your bid is accurate and easy to check.
