Our Maryland estimators deliver complete bid packages with clearly marked-up drawings, inclusions, exclusions, labor and material breakdowns and scope notes. Perfect for general contractors submitting winning public or private bid proposals.
Change Order Estimating
We prepare fast and accurate pricing for change orders, addendums, or revised scopes to keep your project on track. Our team helps contractors recover 90 100% of change order costs through accurate documentation.
Trade-Specific Estimating
From HVAC and plumbing to drywall, framing, or concrete, we offer focused trade-specific estimating and takeoffs for subcontractors across all CSI Divisions (03, 32). Our estimates are based on ZIP code-specific labor and material pricing.
Damage Insurance Estimates
Property owners or contractors contact us to get accurate estimates of a building’s damaged components. Our estimators analyze photos or drawings and use Xactimate to quantify material loss, labor needs and timeliness. This supports faster insurance claims and restorations.
Remodeling & Renovation Estimates
For renovations or interior fit-outs, we provide tailored estimates after reviewing the project’s addenda and scope changes. These services help homeowners and contractors avoid 60–70% of typical cost overruns in renovation projects.

We provide 100% accurate quantities with marked-up plans. Whether you’re a GC, subcontractor, supplier, or developer, we make sure you have the right quantities before you build. Using certified software like Bluebeam, Planswift, and Trimble, we quantify all materials as per CSI divisions (03–32) including concrete, masonry, metals, wood, thermal insulation, finishes, MEP components and more.
