As the capital, Albany's work is led by state-agency projects, Albany NanoTech semiconductor research, and medical and university campuses, much of it publicly bid with prevailing wages. Our exterior estimators work with siding and cladding contractors, stucco and EIFS subcontractors, and general contractors across Albany, pricing jobs tied to State of New York office modernization, Albany NanoTech and semiconductor research, and Albany Medical Center expansion.
Cold-climate walls in Albany use exterior insulation and air barriers, and our takeoffs carry both. Exterior renovation in the area's older buildings often means stripping old siding, repairing sheathing, and restoring historic trim.
Our exterior estimators use Bluebeam Revu, PlanSwift, and On-Screen Takeoff to build each Albany takeoff, and they read the drawings with the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code in mind, including weather-resistive barriers, continuous insulation, and fire-rated exterior wall requirements. You receive an Excel workbook and marked-up PDFs, so every exterior finishes number can be checked.
Contractors in Albany use us when bid volume outpaces their in-house team, and so do firms in nearby Troy and Bethlehem. You get a dedicated point of contact, a 24 to 72 hour turnaround, and exterior finishes numbers you can defend at bid review. Labor assumptions for the exterior finishes scope are yours to choose: union, prevailing wage, or open shop. Prevailing wage rates for public work in New York State come from the Department of Labor, organized by county and trade. Your first exterior finishes estimate is 10% off.
