Our Story
Exterior Finishes Takeoff & Estimating Built for East Orange Contractors
East Orange's train-station redevelopment zones keep bringing mid-rise apartments, alongside renovation of the city's large prewar housing stock. For siding and cladding contractors, stucco and EIFS subcontractors, and general contractors, that makes accurate exterior finishes quantities on transit-oriented apartments near Brick Church and Ampere stations and similar projects essential to winning work at a profit.
Cold-climate walls in East Orange 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.
Code requirements change quantities, so our exterior estimators review every East Orange drawing set against the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code (UCC), paying attention to weather-resistive barriers, continuous insulation, and fire-rated exterior wall requirements. The takeoff is built in Bluebeam Revu, PlanSwift, and On-Screen Takeoff 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 East Orange contractors professional exterior finishes estimating capacity without the cost of an in-house department, and we work the same way for firms in nearby Newark and Orange. We can price exterior finishes 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.
