Our Story
How Our Concrete Estimators Help Staten Island Contractors Win More Bids
Staten Island is NYC's most suburban borough: detached and semi-detached homes, North Shore waterfront redevelopment, and post-Sandy elevations on the East Shore. That's the market we estimate for every day, building concrete takeoffs for projects from North Shore waterfront redevelopment to post-Sandy resiliency upgrades.
Staten Island's frost depth sets footing depth, and winter pours bring blankets, heated enclosures, accelerators, and hot water. We measure footings to the required frost depth and flag cold-weather protection as its own cost. Coastal concrete in the area faces salt exposure, so specifications often require epoxy-coated or galvanized rebar, corrosion inhibitors, higher-strength mixes, and more cover.
Our concrete estimators use Bluebeam Revu, PlanSwift, and Kubla Cubed to build each Staten Island takeoff, and they read the drawings with the NYC Construction Codes in mind, including rebar cover, lap lengths, footing depths, and special-inspection items. 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 concrete number can be checked.
With a 98% bid-hit ratio across more than 5,000 U.S. projects, Remote Estimation gives Staten Island contractors professional concrete estimating capacity without the cost of an in-house department, and we work the same way for firms in neighborhoods such as St. George and Tottenville. We can price concrete labor at union, prevailing-wage, or open-shop rates. Inside the five boroughs, city-funded jobs use the Comptroller's prevailing wage schedules, and union labor is common on private work too.
