Everything betweendrawings and bid day.

What I Deliver

Every engagement is different — some contractors need a full bid package, some need a quick takeoff review before a number goes out. Here's what's available. Mix and match based on what your project actually needs.

01

HVAC Estimating

Complete material and labor takeoffs for mechanical systems. Ductwork, equipment, controls, insulation, hangers, and associated specialties — broken down by system and construction phase. Output formatted for your bid submission requirements.

  • Ductwork linear and area takeoffs
  • Equipment schedules and pricing
  • Controls and BAS allowances
  • Labor hour estimates by task
  • Subcontract scope identification
02

Plumbing Estimates

Detailed plumbing takeoffs covering all pipe, fittings, fixtures, equipment, and associated labor. Domestic, sanitary, storm, gas — specified by system so your foreman can actually use the numbers in the field.

  • Pipe takeoffs by system and size
  • Fixture and equipment counts
  • Rough-in and trim labor breakdowns
  • Underground vs. above-grade separation
  • Material pricing and supplier quotes
03

Scope Letters

A complete scope letter is your first line of defense against scope creep, GC assumptions, and change order disputes. Every scope letter includes a specific list of what's in, what's out, and what's clarified — in plain language that holds up in the field.

  • Detailed inclusions list
  • Specific exclusions — no vague language
  • Clarifications on spec ambiguities
  • Allowances clearly identified
  • Coordination responsibilities noted
04

Vendor & Subcontractor Coordination

Getting a number from a supplier or sub isn't just sending an email. It's confirming they've actually read the scope, their pricing reflects current lead times, and their exclusions don't leave you holding something you didn't price. I handle that outreach directly.

  • Material supplier quote requests
  • Scope confirmation with subs
  • Lead time verification
  • Quote comparison and leveling
  • Scope gap identification before bid day
05

Job Cost Tracking & Phase Sequencing

An estimate structured by construction phase gives you a real cash flow picture before the project starts. Know when your major material buys hit, when labor ramps up, and where your float is — before you're managing it in the field by feel.

  • Cost breakdown by construction phase
  • Labor loading and schedule correlation
  • Material procurement timeline
  • Cash flow projection by month
  • Budget vs. actual tracking setup
06

Bid Reviews

You've got a number. Your estimator put it together under pressure. Before it goes out, a second read-through by someone who isn't tired of looking at the drawings is worth the hour it takes. Scope gaps, math errors, missing allowances, spec items that didn't make it into the number — caught before they're a problem.

  • Full scope gap check against drawings
  • Math and extension verification
  • Specification compliance review
  • Allowance and exclusion check
  • Bid form completion review
