Our Story
Plumbing Takeoff & Estimating Built for Brick Contractors
Brick's lagoon neighborhoods and barrier-island beaches keep elevation, piling, and renovation work moving, alongside retail along Routes 70 and 88. Our plumbing estimators work with plumbing contractors, mechanical subcontractors, and general contractors across Brick, pricing jobs tied to lagoon and bayfront home elevations, Route 70 and 88 commercial work, and whole-house renovations.
Floodplain rules in Ocean County often push water heaters and equipment above design flood elevation and add check valves and ejector pits. We quantify each one instead of leaving it to a contingency. Near the water in Brick, the plumbing scope often includes backwater valves, elevated equipment platforms, and salt-tolerant materials, and we count those separately so they don't disappear into an allowance. New Jersey's Inland Flood Protection Rule raised design flood elevations in regulated areas, so we check elevations against current NJDEP requirements on the drawings.
Code requirements change quantities, so our plumbing estimators review every Brick drawing set against the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code (UCC) and its National Standard Plumbing Code subcode, paying attention to minimum fixture counts, cleanout spacing, venting, and backflow-prevention requirements. The takeoff is built in FastPIPE, Bluebeam Revu, and PlanSwift and delivered as an Excel workbook with color-coded, marked-up plans.
Contractors in Brick use us when bid volume outpaces their in-house team, and so do firms in nearby Point Pleasant and Bay Head. You get a dedicated point of contact, a 24 to 72 hour turnaround, and plumbing numbers you can defend at bid review. We can price plumbing labor at union, prevailing-wage, or open-shop rates. In New Jersey, NJDOL publishes the prevailing wage rates used on public works and many publicly assisted redevelopment jobs. Your first plumbing estimate is 10% off.
