Our Story
Local Multifamily Construction Estimating for Albany, NY
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. That's the market we estimate for every day, building multifamily takeoffs for projects from State of New York office modernization to Albany Medical Center expansion.
Conversions and gut renovations are a large share of Albany's apartment pipeline, and our estimates reflect existing conditions. Cold-climate multifamily in the area needs winter conditions in the budget, and our estimates include them.
Code requirements change quantities, so our multifamily estimators review every Albany drawing set against the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, paying attention to fire separation, sound transmission, accessibility, and sprinkler requirements. The takeoff is built in PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and RSMeans and delivered as an Excel workbook with color-coded, marked-up plans.
With a 98% bid-hit ratio across more than 5,000 U.S. projects, Remote Estimation gives Albany contractors professional multifamily estimating capacity without the cost of an in-house department, and we work the same way for firms in nearby Schenectady and Troy. Prevailing wage rates for public work in New York State come from the Department of Labor, organized by county and trade. Your multifamily estimate can be built on union, prevailing, or open-shop labor, whichever the bid requires. Get a fixed quote for your next Albany bid within about an hour.
