Our Construction Estimating Services in Maryland

We provide comprehensive construction estimating and quantity takeoff services for contractors, builders, architects, developers and engineers throughout Maryland.

Conceptual & Preliminary Estimating

Planning an early-stage build or renovation? We provide high-level conceptual estimates using schematic designs or narratives to assess feasibility and check project funding. These early estimates have helped clients reduce preconstruction planning time by up to 40%.

Bid Estimate Preparation

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.

Material Takeoff Services in Maryland

At Royal Takeoffs, we deliver highly detailed and accurate material takeoff services for residential, commercial, and industrial construction projects across Maryland. Our expert estimators break down quantities and costs of every material item required for your project. We help you avoid over-ordering, underestimating, or costly last-minute changes.

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.
