We assume responsibility for relieving their stress by offering them accurate and comprehensive concrete takeoff and estimate services to support their proposal.

WHY YOU NEED TO OUTSOURCE YOUR CONCRETE ESTIMATES?

Contractors are so much busy with working on sidewalks, driveways and paving that they don’t really get time from their busy schedule to perform accurate estimates on their own and eventually they underbid or overbid on their projects.

OUR ESTIMATION PROCESS

In order to determine the scope of work, the concrete estimating process begins with a careful examination of the drawing designs that the customer has supplied. After that, a computer software such as Accubid, Bluebeam, etc. is used to do an on-screen takeoff. Additionally, the quantities are imported into the specified Excel spreadsheets that include thorough line item descriptions

Our concrete takeoff spreadsheet comprises the breakdown of all the following quantities:

The quantity of concrete essential for slabs, piers, footings, headers, grade beams, tie beams, foundation walls, columns, lintels, platforms, steps, etc. It also contains the estimate of conveyance costs and equipment required eg cranes, pumps, mixers, etc.
The prices for concrete formwork. It solely depends on the type of formwork, whether you buy or rent, repairs, equipment associated, transportation costs, labor, etc.
Reinforcements for concrete can take the form of stirrups, dowels, anchors, wire mesh, plastic mesh, and structural rebar.

Labor Hours are calculated to find labor costs for skilled and unskilled labor. Prices for material, labor, and equipment are estimated using RS Means and our building cost database for current, zip code-based prices. Costs for grading or site preparation are also computed if necessary. It involves labour, equipment, transportation, and the excavation, leveling, and compaction of the soil. Additionally, additional expenses for storage, concrete testing, waste, spills, transportation, etc. are considered. Additionally taken into account are contingency reserves for things like inflation and unanticipated expenses.

The lead estimator conducts a last inspection to make sure everything satisfies the client’s needs.
