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.
Multifamily developments require careful coordination across multiple trades, building systems, common areas, amenities, and site infrastructure. Our Multifamily Construction Estimating Services provide detailed quantity takeoffs and cost reports covering every phase of construction.
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.
Our New York City multifamily takeoff covers corridor and amenity finishes, site utilities, parking structures, wood framing, concrete podiums, MEP distribution, drywall, interior finishes, elevators, and roofing. Conversions separate demolition and new work. Estimates are organized by floor and unit type. Every multifamily item is reported with exact counts, linear footage, square footage, or volume, cross-referenced to your drawing sheets and schedules.

New York City projects carry costs that don't exist elsewhere, including hoisting, sidewalk sheds, DOB filings, union labor rates, and Local Law 97 compliance, so national averages don't work for pricing here. That's the market we estimate for every day, building multifamily takeoffs for projects from high-rise residential and office-to-residential conversions to transit and airport modernization.
New York City 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.
Our multifamily estimators use PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and RSMeans to build each New York City takeoff, and they read the drawings with the NYC Construction Codes and the NYC Energy Conservation Code in mind, 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. You receive an Excel workbook and marked-up PDFs, so every multifamily number can be checked.
Hiring an in-house multifamily estimator is expensive, and missing a bid deadline is worse. Our remote team covers New York City with fast, itemized multifamily estimates and a 98% bid-hit ratio, and we serve all five boroughs, including Queens and the Bronx as well. Union crews and Comptroller prevailing wage rates shape most New York City budgets, so the labor basis matters as much as the quantities. Your multifamily estimate can be built on union, prevailing, or open-shop labor, whichever the bid requires. Share your plans and scope, and we'll send a fixed quote within an hour.
Our New York City multifamily estimators work across all five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Citywide rules (the NYC Construction Codes, DOB NOW filings, Local Law 97, and union labor) apply everywhere, and each borough adds its own building stock, from Manhattan towers to Staten Island one- and two-family homes. For borough-specific detail, see our Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, and Staten Island pages.
