How Our Sitework Estimators Help Trenton Contractors Win More Bids
Trenton's work centers on State of New Jersey offices, school construction, and historic rehabilitation, which usually means public bidding and prevailing-wage pricing. For excavation and earthwork contractors, utility subcontractors, and general contractors, that makes accurate sitework quantities on state government office construction and similar projects essential to winning work at a profit.
Mercer County stormwater and floodplain rules drive site design, and our takeoffs measure detention, storm pipe, and pad elevations. Utilities in Trenton have to be buried below the frost line, and our takeoffs carry those depths. New Jersey's Inland Flood Protection Rule raised design flood elevations in regulated areas, so we check elevations against current NJDEP requirements on the drawings.
Code requirements change quantities, so our sitework estimators review every Trenton drawing set against the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code (UCC), paying attention to stormwater management, erosion control, and utility separation requirements. The takeoff is built in Kubla Cubed, AGTEK, Bluebeam Revu, and PlanSwift and delivered as an Excel workbook with color-coded, marked-up plans.
Hiring an in-house sitework estimator is expensive, and missing a bid deadline is worse. Our remote team covers Trenton with fast, itemized sitework estimates and a 98% bid-hit ratio, and we serve nearby Lawrence and Princeton as well. New Jersey's Prevailing Wage Act covers public works, with rates published by the NJ Department of Labor and Workforce Development, and many redevelopment projects carry the same requirement. Your sitework estimate can be built on union, prevailing, or open-shop labor, whichever the bid requires. Your first sitework estimate is 10% off.
