Our estimating team supports a wide variety of construction projects.
Exterior finish systems require detailed measurement of wall areas, openings, transitions, corners, trims, and specialty components. Our Exterior Finishes Takeoff Estimator team carefully reviews architectural drawings, elevations, specifications, and façade details to produce accurate takeoffs.
Detailed, itemized takeoff reports with quantities, costs and clear breakdown of flowing materials. Here's a preview of that.
Every report includes color-coded marked plans, itemized quantity sheets, and a full cost summary — delivered in Excel and PDF formats, ready to attach directly to your bid submission.
Here is what we measure on a typical Houston exterior finishes job: stucco, EIFS systems, fiber cement siding, vinyl siding, metal wall panels, composite and ACM cladding, weather-resistive barriers, vapor and air barriers, exterior trim and soffits, and flashing and sealants. Approved hurricane-rated systems are quantified. Facades are quantified by system and elevation. Each exterior finishes line carries its unit of measure and sheet reference, so pricing and verification are straightforward.

Houston has no zoning code, so commercial, industrial, and residential projects often go up side by side, and Gulf Coast humidity, expansive clay, and Harris County floodplain rules shape nearly every bid. Whether you're bidding Port Houston logistics growth or petrochemical work along the Houston Ship Channel, our exterior estimators build quantities from your drawings, not from rules of thumb.
Hurricane design in Houston requires approved cladding systems, impact-rated components, and engineered attachment. We list each system. Facades on local towers combine curtain wall, metal panels, and rainscreen systems, with access, mock-ups, and complex flashing at every floor.
Our exterior estimators use Bluebeam Revu, PlanSwift, and On-Screen Takeoff to build each Houston takeoff, and they read the drawings with the City of Houston's amended construction codes in mind, including weather-resistive barriers, continuous insulation, and fire-rated exterior wall requirements. You receive an Excel workbook and marked-up PDFs, so every exterior finishes number can be checked.
