Our Story
Multi-Family Residential Apartments Estimating Services Built for Jersey City Contractors
Jersey City is home base for Remote Estimation — our office is on Wayne Street — so we know how Hudson County podium towers, tight Downtown laydown space, and flood-zone requirements change a bid. Whether you're bidding Liberty Harbor redevelopment or brownstone and rowhouse renovations, our multifamily estimators build quantities from your drawings, not from rules of thumb.
Multifamily in Jersey City ranges from wood-over-podium to concrete and steel high-rises. We estimate by building type, with unit-type takeoffs for finishes and floor-by-floor quantities for structure and MEP. Conversions and gut renovations are a large share of the area's apartment pipeline, and our estimates reflect existing conditions.
Code requirements change quantities, so our multifamily estimators review every Jersey City drawing set against the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code (UCC), paying attention to fire separation, sound transmission, accessibility, and sprinkler requirements. The takeoff is built in PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and RSMeans 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 Jersey City contractors professional multifamily estimating capacity without the cost of an in-house department, and we work the same way for firms in nearby Hoboken and Bayonne. Labor assumptions for the multifamily scope are yours to choose: union, prevailing wage, or open shop. New Jersey's Prevailing Wage Act covers public works, with rates published by the NJ Department of Labor and Workforce Development, and many redevelopment projects carry the same requirement.
