Our Story
Concrete Takeoff & Estimating Built for Long Island City Contractors
Long Island City added more housing towers than almost any other New York neighborhood, while Dutch Kills and the waterfront keep converting industrial lots into studios, labs, and offices. Our concrete estimators work with concrete contractors, foundation subcontractors, and general contractors across Long Island City, pricing jobs tied to Court Square and Hunters Point residential towers, film studio and life-sciences buildings, and industrial-to-office conversions.
For Long Island City high-rises we quantify mat foundations, core walls, columns, and elevated decks floor by floor, separating rebar and post-tension tonnage from concrete volume. Cold-weather concreting is part of building in the area.
Projects in Long Island City are permitted under the NYC Construction Codes, so we follow the code-driven notes on your drawings (rebar cover, lap lengths, footing depths, and special-inspection items) and carry them into the takeoff. 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. Our team uses Bluebeam Revu, PlanSwift, and Kubla Cubed to measure and organize every concrete quantity.
With a 98% bid-hit ratio across more than 5,000 U.S. projects, Remote Estimation gives Long Island City contractors professional concrete estimating capacity without the cost of an in-house department, and we work the same way for firms in neighborhoods such as Hunters Point and Court Square. Labor assumptions for the concrete scope are yours to choose: union, prevailing wage, or open shop. Inside the five boroughs, city-funded jobs use the Comptroller's prevailing wage schedules, and union labor is common on private work too.
