For General Contractors, Plumbing Contractors & Subcontractors
From Tribeca to Midtown, plumbing bids in Manhattan are won on accurate quantities. Our plumbing estimating services in Manhattan give plumbing contractors, mechanical subcontractors, and general contractors a complete, itemized takeoff and estimate built from your plans and specifications, so you can bid with confidence and protect your margin.
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 Plumbing Estimating Services provide detailed quantity takeoffs and cost analysis for every major plumbing component required to complete your project successfully. We review plumbing drawings, specifications, schedules, and riser diagrams to identify material quantities, labor requirements, and project costs with precision.
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 plumbing job: gas piping, hangers and supports, sleeves and firestopping, sanitary and waste piping, vent stacks, storm drainage and roof drains, domestic hot and cold water piping, fixtures and trim, water heaters and recirculation pumps, and valves and specialties. Tower projects include riser-by-riser counts, booster and PRV stations, and firestopping at each floor penetration. Flood-zone items such as backwater valves, elevated equipment, and ejector pits are listed separately. Each plumbing 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. Whether you're bidding Hudson Yards and Midtown towers or façade (FISP) and Local Law 97 work, our plumbing estimators build quantities from your drawings, not from rules of thumb.
High-rise work in Manhattan adds plumbing scope that's easy to undercount: pressure-reducing zones, booster pump packages, expansion compensation on tall stacks, and the extra hangers, sleeves, and firestopping at every floor penetration. We take these off floor by floor so your riser counts match the drawings. Coastal sites in the area call for corrosion-resistant materials, backwater valves, and flood-resistant equipment placement.
Projects in Manhattan are permitted under the NYC Plumbing Code, so we follow the code-driven notes on your drawings (minimum fixture counts, cleanout spacing, venting, and backflow-prevention requirements) and carry them into the takeoff. 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. Our team uses FastPIPE, Bluebeam Revu, and PlanSwift to measure and organize every plumbing quantity.
Remote Estimation has prepared estimates on more than 5,000 projects for 500+ contractors, and that experience goes into every Manhattan plumbing bid we touch. Inside the five boroughs, city-funded jobs use the Comptroller's prevailing wage schedules, and union labor is common on private work too. Your plumbing estimate can be built on union, prevailing, or open-shop labor, whichever the bid requires. Send your plumbing drawings today for a fixed quote.
We price plumbing 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.
Yes. We prepare plumbing takeoffs and estimates for plumbing contractors, mechanical subcontractors, and general contractors throughout Manhattan, from Tribeca to the Upper East Side, and in neighborhoods such as Midtown and the Financial District. Typical work includes office-to-residential conversions and Hudson Yards and Midtown towers.
Yes. For Manhattan mid-rise and high-rise projects we take off risers floor by floor, including pressure-reducing stations, booster pumps, stack offsets, expansion joints, sleeves, and firestopping, so vertical quantities are complete and easy to check.
Yes. When Manhattan drawings show flood-hazard design, we separately list backwater and check valves, elevated water heaters and equipment, flood-resistant materials, and any sump or ejector systems so you can price them on their own.
Pricing depends on project size, scope, and how complete the drawings are. Send your plans and we'll return a fixed quote within about an hour. For steady bid volume, monthly packages start at $1,500 for five projects.
