Our Story
Plumbing Takeoff & Estimating Built for Brooklyn Contractors
Brooklyn ranges from 40-story Downtown towers to 120-year-old brownstones, and Gowanus and the waterfront add flood-resistant construction and environmental cleanup to the scope. We prepare plumbing estimates for that full range of work, from brownstone gut renovations to smaller jobs in Gowanus and DUMBO.
On Brooklyn towers we quantify domestic water zoning, booster pumps, stack offsets, and fire-rated penetrations at each level, which is where vertical plumbing bids usually lose money. Coastal sites in the area call for corrosion-resistant materials, backwater valves, and flood-resistant equipment placement.
Each takeoff is built in FastPIPE, Bluebeam Revu, and PlanSwift from your current plan set and checked against the NYC Plumbing Code, including minimum fixture counts, cleanout spacing, venting, and backflow-prevention requirements. Where the scope involves DOB NOW filings, sidewalk sheds, or Local Law 97 compliance, those costs are flagged so they are not missed at bid time. Plumbing quantities are organized by area, floor, and system to match how Brooklyn contractors actually bid.
With a 98% bid-hit ratio across more than 5,000 U.S. projects, Remote Estimation gives Brooklyn contractors professional plumbing estimating capacity without the cost of an in-house department, and we work the same way for firms in neighborhoods such as Williamsburg and Park Slope. Inside the five boroughs, city-funded jobs use the Comptroller's prevailing wage schedules, and union labor is common on private work too. Your plumbing estimate can be built on union, prevailing, or open-shop labor, whichever the bid requires. Send your plumbing drawings today for a fixed quote.
