Our Story
Exterior Finishes Takeoff & Estimating Built for Rochester Contractors
Rochester's downtown office-to-residential conversions, URMC expansion, and Eastman Business Park reuse all involve working with older structures in a heavy-snow climate. That's the market we estimate for every day, building exterior finishes takeoffs for projects from University of Rochester Medical Center to downtown adaptive reuse.
Cold-climate walls in Rochester use exterior insulation and air barriers, and our takeoffs carry both. Local facade renovations include removal, substrate repair, and new cladding, each of which we take off.
Code requirements change quantities, so our exterior estimators review every Rochester drawing set against the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, paying attention to weather-resistive barriers, continuous insulation, and fire-rated exterior wall requirements. The takeoff is built in Bluebeam Revu, PlanSwift, and On-Screen Takeoff and delivered as an Excel workbook with color-coded, marked-up plans.
Remote Estimation has prepared estimates on more than 5,000 projects for 500+ contractors, and that experience goes into every Rochester exterior finishes bid we touch. Labor assumptions for the exterior finishes scope are yours to choose: union, prevailing wage, or open shop. New York's prevailing wage schedules apply to public work statewide, and certain privately built projects with significant public funding now follow them as well. Your first exterior finishes estimate is 10% off.
