Advanced Estimating Technology & Process

Our process combines personal expertise with cutting-edge tools. When you send us plans or specs, our estimators perform a detailed digital takeoff using PlanSwift or Bluebeam, tagging every item and material. We cross-reference quantities with RSMeans unit prices, adjusted for current Alabama market trends. All data flows into customized Excel spreadsheets for labor, overhead, and profit calculations. This disciplined approach yields a clear, line-item estimate or bid that covers material costs, labor, equipment, permits, and more.

Every estimate is prepared or reviewed by a senior estimator. We incorporate lessons learned from similar projects and adhere to local building codes. The result is an estimate that not only looks professional but acts as a roadmap for your project’s budget and scope.
