What Is Process Piping Estimating
Process piping estimating is the process of pricing the pipes that carry water, sludge, chemicals, air and gas through an industrial plant. It covers ductile iron, PVC, CPVC, HDPE and stainless pipe, fittings, flanges, couplings, valves, actuators, flow meters, instruments, pumps, blowers, tanks, insulation and pipe supports.
Industrial plants have dozens of separate pipe systems, and each one has its own size, material and fittings. We take each system from the piping plans and P and ID drawings in PlanSwift and Bluebeam and list pipe, fittings and labor hours by system, so your bid is complete and easy to check.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an industrial piping 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 an industrial piping estimate take?
Most industrial piping estimates are delivered within 2 to 5 business days because the scopes are large. Smaller packages can be done in 24 to 48 hours.
What do I need to send?
Send the piping plans, P and ID drawings, equipment schedules and specifications. PDF drawings are fine.
Do you include labor hours?
Yes. Every line shows labor hours and labor cost, so you can apply your own crew rates.
Do you include demolition of existing pipe?
Yes. Removal of existing pipe, pumps and equipment can be included for plant upgrades.
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.
