What Is Residential Construction Estimating
Residential construction estimating is the process of pricing a home or housing project before it is built. It covers sitework, foundations, framing, roofing, siding, windows, MEP, drywall, flooring, paint, cabinets and every other trade a house needs.
Home budgets are tight and every room counts. A builder needs to know the framing lumber, roof squares, drywall sheets and finish areas before signing a contract. We take each trade from the plans in PlanSwift and Bluebeam and organize the estimate by CSI division, so you can bid with confidence and show your client a clear number.
