Explore →Quantity Takeoff
Detailed measurement of construction quantities from plans, including units, descriptions and trade-specific quantities.
Explore →Material Takeoff
Material quantities organized by trade so contractors can compare supplier pricing, plan purchasing and build accurate bids.
Explore →Labor Takeoff
Labor quantities and production assumptions structured to support crew planning, bid development and cost analysis.
Explore →Bid Estimating
Bid-ready estimates that organize scope, quantities and costs into a practical format for competitive tender submissions.
Explore →Preliminary Estimating
Early-stage estimates that establish a working cost range before construction documents are fully developed.
Explore →Budget Estimating
Budget development for owners, developers and design teams who need cost visibility during planning and design.
Explore →Conceptual Estimating
High-level cost modeling from conceptual information, allowances and preliminary drawings.
Explore →Design Estimating
Progressive estimates that evolve with schematic, design development and construction documentation.
Explore →Preconstruction Estimating
Cost analysis, scope review and estimating support during the preconstruction phase.
Explore →Change Order Estimating
Quantity and cost analysis for additions, revisions, substitutions and scope changes.
Explore →Value Engineering
Structured comparison of materials, assemblies and scope alternatives to identify cost opportunities.
Explore →Bid Review
Scope and bid review support to identify exclusions, gaps, quantity differences and pricing inconsistencies.
Explore →Bid Preparation
Estimate organization and bid support for contractors preparing professional submissions.
Explore →Cost Control
Cost breakdowns and estimate structures that support budgeting, procurement and construction cost monitoring.
Explore →Outsourced Estimating
Flexible estimating support for contractors and firms that need additional estimating capacity without adding permanent staff.
Explore →BIM Modeling
Coordinated 3D BIM models in Revit at LOD 100–350, built from your drawings for estimating, coordination and construction.
Explore →Revit Modeling
Native Revit 3D models, families, sheets and schedules — built from 2D drawings or cleaned up from existing files.
Explore →Architectural Drafting
Floor plans, elevations, sections and full construction drawing sets in AutoCAD and Revit.
Explore →Structural Drafting
Foundation, framing and steel drafting from engineer drawings — plans, sections and schedules.
Explore →MEP Drafting
Mechanical, electrical and plumbing drafting — HVAC, power, lighting and plumbing layouts that fit together.
Explore →CAD Drafting & Construction Drawings
2D AutoCAD drafting for all trades — plans, sections and details your team can build and price from.
Explore →BIM Coordination & Clash Detection
Navisworks clash detection and coordination reports that catch conflicts before they reach the site.
Explore →Shop Drawings & As-Built Drawings
Fabrication-ready shop drawings and as-built records for steel, millwork, MEP and all trades.
Explore →PDF to CAD & Scan to BIM
Old PDF and scanned drawings converted to editable CAD, and laser scans turned into Revit BIM models.
Explore →Design & Drafting for All Trades
Drafting and modeling support across every trade we estimate — so the drawings, the model and the numbers are all built from the same scope.
Concrete, Masonry, Structural Steel, Lumber & Framing, Roofing, Drywall, Flooring, Painting, Doors & Windows, Electrical, Plumbing, HVAC, Earthwork, Demolition, Fireproofing, Fire Suppression, Insulation, Low Voltage, Millwork, Paving, Sitework & Landscaping, Waterproofing and Stucco — if it is on the drawings, we can model it, draft it and take it off.
