Every Estimating Service You Need
Cost estimates, quantity takeoffs, trade-specific pricing, commercial, residential, industrial, all of it. Project-by-project from $100. No contracts, no retainers.
Detailed cost estimates prepared from your drawings and specifications. Our construction estimating services cover everything from early-stage budget estimates through to full bid-ready cost plans, across every project type and all Canadian provinces.
Cost Estimating Services
The core service. Full itemised cost estimates for any trade, any project type, priced to current Canadian market rates with marked-up drawings included.
Budget Estimating
Early-stage numbers before full drawings exist. Good for feasibility, financing, and owner sign-off. Faster to turn around than a full bid estimate.
Preliminary Estimating
Conceptual and schematic-stage estimates based on partial drawings or scope descriptions. Good for pre-design cost planning before CD drawings exist.
Building Cost Estimating
Full building cost analysis covering structure, envelope, MEP, and finishes. Broken out by system and by CSI division so every part of the project has a number.
Blueprint Estimating
Send the plans, we price every item on them. Architectural, structural, MEP, all of it.
BIM Estimating
Quantity extraction and cost estimating directly from Revit or IFC models. Typically more accurate than paper takeoffs on complex multi-storey, infrastructure, or phased projects where drawing revisions are frequent.
Renovation Estimating
Gut renovations, tenant improvements, and building upgrades. Selective demolition, abatement allowances, and new-work costs all separated so owners can compare scenarios.
Green Building Estimating
Cost estimates for LEED, Passive House, and net-zero projects. Sustainable material pricing, energy-system costs, and green certification premiums all accounted for.
Freelance Estimating
Extra capacity during busy bid seasons. Project by project, no retainer. Bring us in when you need us.
Accurate material quantities extracted from your drawings using PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and On-Screen Takeoff. Every measurement traceable back to the plan it came from, with colour-coded markups included.
Construction Takeoff Services
Material takeoffs for any trade and any project type. Count, measure, and quantify every item from the drawings, with colour-coded markups so every measurement traces back to the plan it came from. Typically delivered within 10 to 38 hours.
Quantity Takeoff Services
Dedicated quantity surveying and material quantification. Useful when you need quantities only, without the full cost estimate, so your own team can apply pricing.

Estimating Services by What You Build
Residential, commercial, and industrial projects all have different cost structures, different code requirements, and different ways contractors use estimates. Each service page goes deep on the specific project type.
Commercial Construction Estimating
Retail fit-outs, office buildings, warehouses, institutional buildings, mixed-use developments, and commercial renovations. Probably the majority of what we do, if we're being honest.
View Commercial Estimating arrow_forwardResidential Construction Estimating
Custom homes, spec builds, multi-unit residential, townhomes, and renovations. We estimate wood frame, concrete, and hybrid residential construction across all provinces.
View Residential Estimating arrow_forwardIndustrial Cost Estimating
Manufacturing facilities, processing plants, distribution centres, and heavy industrial structures. More complex scopes, longer turnarounds, and larger packages. We handle those too.

Juggling multiple estimating firms across different trades and project types is a headache most contractors don't have time for. Here's what you get when you work with one team for all of it.
10 to 38 Hour Turnaround
Most estimates come back within 10 to 38 hours. Same-day rush is available within 8 hours when a deadline is tight. You'll know the exact timeline when you get your quote, usually within 15 to 20 minutes of sending your plans.
96% Accuracy Rate
Across 4,200+ completed projects, our accuracy rate sits at 96% (that's what we track). Every estimate goes through a multi-level senior review before it reaches you. The numbers have to be right. They really have to be.
Project-by-Project Pricing
Starting from $100 CAD per project. No contracts, no retainers, no per-square-foot fees. You order what you need, pay for that project, and that's it. Busy season or quiet season, the arrangement stays the same.
All 10 Canadian Provinces
British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, and all four Atlantic provinces. Labour rates, material pricing, and building codes vary province to province, and estimates reflect where you're actually building.
Questions About Our Services
Like we mentioned above, every service is project-by-project. No contracts. Here are the questions contractors usually ask before sending their first set of plans.
A quantity takeoff measures and counts materials from your drawings: linear metres of pipe, square metres of drywall, cubic metres of concrete, that kind of thing. A cost estimate takes those quantities and applies labour and material pricing to produce a dollar figure. We offer both separately, or together as a combined package. Most contractors want both.
Yes. You can mix and match however the project needs. Quantity takeoff only for concrete, full cost estimate for MEP, budget estimate for the finishes scope. We handle it all on the same set of drawings. Just tell us what you need when you send your plans.
Either budget estimating or preliminary estimating depending on how much information you have. Budget estimating works well for feasibility and owner approvals before full drawings exist. Preliminary estimating suits schematic-stage work where you have partial drawings but not full CDs. Both are faster and less expensive than a full bid-ready estimate.
Yes. Mixed-use projects with residential floors above commercial podiums are fairly common for us. We typically price the commercial scope and the residential scope separately so each part reads clearly, then roll up a combined total if the owner or GC needs it.
Every service is priced project by project, starting from $100 CAD. The price depends on trade count, project size, and scope complexity, not on a per-square-foot or percentage basis. Send your plans and we'll have a quote back within 15 to 20 minutes during business hours.
PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and On-Screen Takeoff for takeoffs and markups. RSMeans and Trimble for cost data. FastPIPE for plumbing and piping, FastDUCT for HVAC and mechanical. For BIM estimating, we work directly from Revit and IFC files.
