What Is Commercial Construction Estimating
Commercial construction estimating is the process of pricing a commercial building before it is bid or built. It covers sitework, concrete, masonry, steel, framing, roofing, openings, finishes, specialties and the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems.
Commercial bids are large and the margins are thin. One missed wall type or fixture can cost a contractor the profit on a job. We take every trade from the drawings and specs in PlanSwift and Bluebeam and organize the estimate by CSI division, so your bid matches the plans and is easy to review.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a commercial estimate cost?
The price depends on the size of the project and the scope you need. Send your plans and we reply with a fixed quote, usually the same day.
How long does a commercial estimate take?
Most commercial estimates are delivered within 24 to 48 hours. Large projects can take a little longer and we tell you upfront.
What do I need to send?
Send the full drawing set and the project specifications. PDF drawings are fine, and addenda can be sent later.
Do you estimate for subcontractors too?
Yes. Subcontractors can order only their trade, such as drywall, electrical or concrete, priced the same way.
Do you follow CSI divisions?
Yes. Every commercial estimate is organized by CSI MasterFormat divisions with a cost summary on the first sheet.
Which software do you use?
We use PlanSwift and Bluebeam for takeoffs and RSMeans data for pricing.
Are revisions free?
Yes. If the drawings change or you need an alternate, we update the estimate at no extra cost.
