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. For multifamily developers, general contractors, and trade subcontractors, that makes accurate multifamily quantities on office-to-residential conversions and similar projects essential to winning work at a profit.
Manhattan multifamily includes renovations of older apartment buildings and conversions of offices, mills, and warehouses into housing. We separate demolition, structural, and new work. Multifamily in the area ranges from wood-over-podium to concrete and steel high-rises.
Each takeoff is built in PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and RSMeans from your current plan set and checked against the NYC Construction Codes and the NYC Energy Conservation Code, including fire separation, sound transmission, accessibility, and sprinkler requirements. We also flag New York City-specific costs, including DOB NOW filing requirements, sidewalk sheds, and Local Law 97 energy upgrades where they appear in the scope. Multifamily quantities are organized by area, floor, and system to match how Manhattan contractors actually bid.
With a 98% bid-hit ratio across more than 5,000 U.S. projects, Remote Estimation gives Manhattan contractors professional multifamily estimating capacity without the cost of an in-house department, and we work the same way for firms in neighborhoods such as Midtown and the Financial District. We can price multifamily labor at union, prevailing-wage, or open-shop rates. Inside the five boroughs, city-funded jobs use the Comptroller's prevailing wage schedules, and union labor is common on private work too. Send your multifamily drawings today for a fixed quote.
