Princeton's university building program and the Route 1 research corridor produce some of New Jersey's most detailed institutional and lab bids. We prepare residential construction estimates for that full range of work, from high-end residential to smaller jobs in Downtown and Nassau Street and the Princeton University campus.
Princeton'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.
Under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code (UCC), small details add up: energy-code envelope, egress, smoke-alarm, and structural requirements. We catch them during the residential construction takeoff instead of after the award. Measurements are done in PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and Buildertrend and summarized in Excel for your Princeton bid.
Remote Estimation has prepared estimates on more than 5,000 projects for 500+ contractors, and that experience goes into every Princeton residential construction bid we touch. Labor assumptions for the residential construction scope are yours to choose: union, prevailing wage, or open shop. In New Jersey, NJDOL publishes the prevailing wage rates used on public works and many publicly assisted redevelopment jobs. Share your plans and scope, and we'll send a fixed quote within an hour.
