What Are Multi-Unit Residential Estimating Services?

The process of residential estimating services involves calculating the required materials, labor, and expenses for residential construction or restoration projects. This meticulous process includes analyzing project plans, understanding the scope of work, and estimating all costs related to materials, labor, equipment, and other project-specific expenses.

Steps in Residential Estimating

1. Understanding the Scope of Work
   Every successful construction project begins with a thorough review of the project plans and specifications. At Build Fix Estimating, we assess the project’s complexity, size, and specific requirements to ensure nothing is overlooked.
2. Quantity and Material Takeoff
   Our experts measure and quantify the materials required for your project based on the provided plans and specifications. From bricks and concrete to plumbing and electrical components, every detail is accounted for.
3. Labor Estimation
   Labor costs can be a significant portion of any construction budget. We estimate the time and skills needed for each task, considering worker proficiency and the hours required.
4. Pricing of Material
   Accurate material pricing is crucial for a reliable estimate. We contact suppliers, review catalogs, and utilize online tools to ensure we provide the most up-to-date material costs.
5. Quotes from Subcontractors
   We obtain detailed quotes from subcontractors for specialized tasks like electrical, plumbing, and HVAC, ensuring all costs are comprehensively covered.
6. Cost Calculation
   Combining the data from our quantity takeoff and material pricing, we compute the total cost of materials, labor, and subcontractor services.
7. Contingency and Markup
   To account for unforeseen circumstances, we include a contingency amount and an appropriate markup to cover overhead and profit.
8. Preparation of Proposals
   Finally, we compile a complete proposal that includes a detailed scope of work, cost breakdown, payment terms, and other essential information. This document is invaluable for client presentations and contract negotiations.
