Melville is Long Island's largest office market, and much of that Route 110 space is being converted to medical, lab, and residential use, a complicated scope that rewards careful takeoffs. Whether you're bidding medical and lab conversions or multifamily on former office sites, our sitework estimators build quantities from your drawings, not from rules of thumb.
Utilities in Melville have to be buried below the frost line, and our takeoffs carry those depths. Suffolk County's push for nitrogen-reducing I/A OWTS septic systems, along with on-site drywells for stormwater, means local sitework includes leaching structures, excavation, and backfill that many bids underestimate.
Projects in Melville are permitted under the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, so we follow the code-driven notes on your drawings (stormwater management, erosion control, and utility separation requirements) and carry them into the takeoff. Our team uses Kubla Cubed, AGTEK, Bluebeam Revu, and PlanSwift to measure and organize every sitework quantity.
More than 500 contractors nationwide use our sitework and construction estimating services to bid more work with fewer people. For Melville firms, that means accurate sitework numbers in 24 to 72 hours, delivered by estimators who understand Suffolk County. We can price sitework labor at union, prevailing-wage, or open-shop rates. On public work in New York, rates come from the State Department of Labor's prevailing wage schedules, and some privately built projects with significant public funding now fall under them too. Your first sitework estimate is 10% off.
Melville is the center of our sitework work in Suffolk County, but our estimators also price jobs in Huntington, Farmingdale, and Dix Hills and other nearby communities. Inside the city, the Route 110 corridor, the Broadhollow Road office parks, and Melville Business Park keep the bid boards busy. Drawings come in remotely, and the rest of New York is covered as well.
