Our Story
Residential Construction Estimating Services Built for Elizabeth Contractors
Elizabeth sits between Port Newark-Elizabeth and Newark Liberty, so logistics buildings, airport hotels, and older multifamily stock all compete for the same subcontractors. Whether you're bidding airport-adjacent hotels or multifamily renovation, our residential estimators build quantities from your drawings, not from rules of thumb.
Elizabeth's housing stock means many residential projects are remodels, and our estimates separate existing-condition work so change orders are fewer. Many Union County homes sit in mapped flood zones, where elevation, flood vents, and equipment relocation add cost. 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.
Each takeoff is built in PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and Buildertrend from your current plan set and checked against the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code (UCC), including energy-code envelope, egress, smoke-alarm, and structural requirements. Residential quantities are organized by area, floor, and system to match how Elizabeth contractors actually bid.
Contractors in Elizabeth use us when bid volume outpaces their in-house team, and so do firms in nearby Linden and Roselle. You get a dedicated point of contact, a 24 to 72 hour turnaround, and residential construction numbers you can defend at bid review. Labor assumptions for the residential construction scope are yours to choose: union, prevailing wage, or open shop. In New Jersey, NJDOL publishes the prevailing wage rates used on public works and many publicly assisted redevelopment jobs.
