From Plans to Precise Estimates- Our Approach for Concrete Estimation

• Our concrete estimation process begins with a detailed review of the client’s drawings to define the project scope. We then perform an on-screen takeoff using advanced software like Bluebeam, Planswift, or Accubid, and transfer the quantities into Excel with clear line-by-line descriptions.
• Our concrete takeoff spreadsheets include:
• Concrete quantities for slabs, piers, footings, beams, walls, columns, platforms, steps, and more, along with transportation and equipment needs (cranes, pumps, mixers, etc.).
• Costs for formwork, whether bought or rented, including labor, equipment, transportation, and repairs.
• Reinforcement materials such as rebar, wire mesh, stirrups, dowels, and anchors.
• We also calculate man-hours for skilled and unskilled labor, plus material, labor, and equipment costs using RSMeans and our cost database for accurate, location-based pricing.
• If needed, we add costs for site preparation (excavation, grading, compaction) as well as storage, testing, waste, logistics, and contingency funds. Finally, our lead estimator reviews the entire estimate to ensure it fully meets the client’s requirements.
