Our Story
Plumbing Takeoff & Estimating Built for Staten Island Contractors
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. For plumbing contractors, mechanical subcontractors, and general contractors, that makes accurate plumbing quantities on North Shore waterfront redevelopment and similar projects essential to winning work at a profit.
Near the water in Staten Island, the plumbing scope often includes backwater valves, elevated equipment platforms, and salt-tolerant materials, and we count those separately so they don't disappear into an allowance. Much of Richmond County carries floodplain requirements, which affects where plumbing equipment can go and adds backwater valves, sewage ejectors, and sump systems.
Under the NYC Plumbing Code, small details add up: minimum fixture counts, cleanout spacing, venting, and backflow-prevention requirements. We catch them during the plumbing takeoff instead of after the award. New York City costs such as DOB NOW filings, sidewalk sheds, hoisting, and Local Law 97 upgrades are called out separately when they apply. Measurements are done in FastPIPE, Bluebeam Revu, and PlanSwift and summarized in Excel for your Staten Island bid.
Hiring an in-house plumbing estimator is expensive, and missing a bid deadline is worse. Our remote team covers Staten Island with fast, itemized plumbing estimates and a 98% bid-hit ratio, and we serve neighborhoods such as New Dorp and Stapleton as well. We can price plumbing 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. Send your plumbing drawings today for a fixed quote.
