Pricing and Proposal Process

At Estimates Builder, our fees are determined by the scope of work and project size, allowing us to maintain highly competitive rates that foster long-term business relationships. On average, we deliver our estimates within 2 to 3 working days and handle a wide range of construction projects, from residential to commercial.

To obtain an accurate quote, simply send us your project plans via PDF, Dropbox link, Google Drive, or any other file-sharing method. We will review your documents and provide a detailed proposal outlining the exact fee and estimated turnaround time.

When submitting your plans, please indicate if you are bidding as a General Contractor (GC) for the entire project or focusing on specific trades. This information helps us tailor our proposal to meet your needs.

Approval to Proceed

Upon receiving our proposal, feel free to reach out with any questions or clarifications via email or phone. We can also provide samples of our previously completed projects, allowing you to assess the quality of our takeoffs. We deliver work in any format and level of detail you require. Our standard format is an editable Excel sheet, making it easy for you to adjust quantities and costs as necessary. If needed, we can also provide software files like Planswift, Bluebeam, or marked-up drawings.

To approve our proposal, simply reply to the proposal email or sign the PDF and return it to us. We will not begin any work until we have your formal approval.

Factors Influencing Project Fees

Several factors are considered when determining project fees, including:

  • Scope of the project
  • Project timeline
  • Size of the project
  • Building systems involved
  • Overall construction budget

Professional Takeoffs at a Reasonable Cost

Our service includes a comprehensive materials list customized to your specific requirements. You provide the plans, and we return completed takeoffs. With your price lists, markup, and percentage adjustments (for materials, labor, contingencies, profits, etc.), we can customize your bids accordingly. Alternatively, you can input your own pricing and markups. We pride ourselves on offering fast, professional, and accurate building cost estimates and material takeoffs, providing estimates at every stage of the design process.
