Our Story
How Our Exterior Finishes Estimators Help Bronx Contractors Win More Bids
The Bronx leads the city in new affordable housing, so HPD-financed multifamily, prevailing-wage requirements, and Hunts Point industrial work make up much of its bid volume. We prepare exterior finishes estimates for that full range of work, from hospital campus upgrades to smaller jobs in Port Morris and the Grand Concourse.
Facades on Bronx towers combine curtain wall, metal panels, and rainscreen systems, with access, mock-ups, and complex flashing at every floor. We take off cladding by elevation and system. Local facade renovations include removal, substrate repair, and new cladding, each of which we take off.
Code requirements change quantities, so our exterior estimators review every Bronx drawing set against the NYC Construction Codes, paying attention to weather-resistive barriers, continuous insulation, and fire-rated exterior wall requirements. We also flag New York City-specific costs, including DOB NOW filing requirements, sidewalk sheds, and Local Law 97 energy upgrades where they appear in the scope. The takeoff is built in Bluebeam Revu, PlanSwift, and On-Screen Takeoff and delivered as an Excel workbook with color-coded, marked-up plans.
Hiring an in-house exterior finishes estimator is expensive, and missing a bid deadline is worse. Our remote team covers the Bronx with fast, itemized exterior finishes estimates and a 98% bid-hit ratio, and we serve neighborhoods such as Hunts Point and Mott Haven as well. Labor assumptions for the exterior finishes scope are yours to choose: union, prevailing wage, or open shop. City-funded work in the five boroughs is priced at the NYC Comptroller's prevailing wage schedules, and much private work here is built with union crews.
