Our Story
Residential Construction Estimating Services Built for Paramus Contractors
Paramus is the retail capital of North Jersey, so tenant fit-outs, mall repositioning, and medical-office conversions along Routes 4 and 17 drive most commercial bids. That's the market we estimate for every day, building residential construction takeoffs for projects from retail and mall redevelopment to restaurant and pad-site construction.
Paramus's housing stock means many residential projects are remodels, and our estimates separate existing-condition work so change orders are fewer. Cold-climate homes in the area cost more below grade and in the envelope, and our estimates reflect that.
Code requirements change quantities, so our residential estimators review every Paramus drawing set against the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code (UCC), paying attention to energy-code envelope, egress, smoke-alarm, and structural requirements. The takeoff is built in PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and Buildertrend and delivered as an Excel workbook with color-coded, marked-up plans.
With a 98% bid-hit ratio across more than 5,000 U.S. projects, Remote Estimation gives Paramus contractors professional residential construction estimating capacity without the cost of an in-house department, and we work the same way for firms in nearby Hackensack and Ridgewood. We can price residential construction labor at union, prevailing-wage, or open-shop rates. In New Jersey, NJDOL publishes the prevailing wage rates used on public works and many publicly assisted redevelopment jobs. Your first residential construction estimate is 10% off.
