Contractors lose thousands of dollars every year to estimation errors, missed scope items, and wasted time. Here's exactly what we fix.
Our estimating team supports a wide variety of construction projects.
Our Commercial Construction Estimating Services provide detailed quantity takeoffs and cost reports across every major construction discipline required to complete commercial projects successfully.
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 Manhattan commercial construction job: conveying systems, full CSI MasterFormat divisions, core and shell packages, tenant improvements and interior fit-outs, MEP systems, sitework, structural systems, building envelope, finishes, and specialties and equipment. Tower estimates include vertical transportation, curtain wall, and high-rise general conditions. Coastal premiums such as wind-rated envelopes and elevated MEP are called out. Each commercial construction line carries its unit of measure and sheet reference, so pricing and verification are straightforward.

In Manhattan, logistics are often the biggest cost: delivery windows, crane and hoist time, sidewalk sheds, and occupied-building work all need their own line items. That's the market we estimate for every day, building commercial construction takeoffs for projects from office-to-residential conversions to façade (FISP) and Local Law 97 work.
For Manhattan high-rise and mid-rise commercial projects, we separate core and shell from tenant fit-out and quantify vertical systems such as elevators, risers, and stairs floor by floor. Near the water in the area, building envelope and MEP elevation requirements change commercial budgets, and our estimates show those costs clearly.
Code requirements change quantities, so our commercial estimators review every Manhattan drawing set against the NYC Construction Codes and the NYC Energy Conservation Code, paying attention to accessibility, life-safety, fire protection, and energy-code requirements. New York City costs such as DOB NOW filings, sidewalk sheds, hoisting, and Local Law 97 upgrades are called out separately when they apply. The takeoff is built in Bluebeam Revu, PlanSwift, and RSMeans Cost Data and delivered as an Excel workbook with color-coded, marked-up plans.
Hiring an in-house commercial construction estimator is expensive, and missing a bid deadline is worse. Our remote team covers Manhattan with fast, itemized commercial construction estimates and a 98% bid-hit ratio, and we serve neighborhoods such as Hudson Yards and Harlem as well. We can price commercial construction labor at union, prevailing-wage, or open-shop rates. City-funded work in the five boroughs is priced at the NYC Comptroller's prevailing wage schedules, and much private work here is built with union crews. Your first commercial construction estimate is 10% off.
We price commercial construction work in every part of Manhattan, from Midtown, the Financial District, and Hudson Yards to Harlem, Chelsea, and the Upper West Side, plus Tribeca, the Upper East Side, and the Lower East Side. Because estimating is done remotely from your drawings, a job in the Upper West Side gets the same turnaround as one in Midtown. For rules that apply citywide, see our New York City page.
