The Process of Estimating Residential Construction

Accurate estimating residential construction services requires attention to detail and a clear understanding of a project’s scope. Here’s how we ensure that every aspect of the estimate is precise and comprehensive:

Understanding the Scope of Work
We begin by thoroughly reviewing the project plans, specifications, and any additional documentation. This helps our estimators understand the project’s complexity, unique requirements, and size, which are critical for producing accurate residential estimating results.
Quantity and Material Takeoff
Based on project plans, we conduct a detailed takeoff to quantify the materials required, from bricks and concrete to plumbing fixtures and electrical components. By carefully measuring each item, our team ensures that all materials are accounted for, reducing unexpected costs down the line.
Labor Estimation
Our residential estimating includes precise labor cost calculations. By considering the skill levels of workers, estimated hours for each task, and specialized labor requirements, we create a realistic labor estimate that reflects the current market.
Material Pricing

To ensure accurate material costs, our team researches and collects current pricing from suppliers. By staying updated with the latest prices, we help keep your project on budget.
Quotes from Subcontractors
For specialized work like electrical and plumbing, we obtain quotes from experienced subcontractors. This additional step ensures that all specific scopes of work are accurately priced.
Cost Calculation
Using the information gathered, we calculate the total costs for materials, labor, and subcontractor services. This comprehensive approach ensures a reliable cost breakdown for your project.
Contingency and Markup
Factoring in contingencies for unforeseen changes and applying a markup for profit and overhead gives our clients a realistic view of total project costs.
Preparation of Proposals
Finally, we prepare a detailed proposal document that includes the scope of work, cost breakdown, and payment terms. This document serves as a valuable resource for presentations, contracts, and client discussions.
