General Contractor Estimating
Full-scope estimating across every division on the job — one point of contact instead of chasing a dozen sub quotes.
What We Take Off
- Complete CSI division breakdown
- Self-perform vs. subcontracted scope splits
- General conditions and overhead
- Bid-day compiled summary
- Value engineering flags where costs run high
Works from whatever plans you have
Traditional 2D CAD drawings and PDF plan sets, or 3D BIM models — general contractor quantities are taken off directly from your source files, cross-checked against the model where one exists, and delivered in the same itemized format either way.
Need the drawings themselves, not just a takeoff from them? See Drawing & Engineering Services.
Where general contractor estimates commonly go wrong
The risk in a full-scope estimate isn't any single division — it's the gaps between them, where two subs both assume the other is covering a line item.
