FAQ's

Construction estimation is important for several reasons:

  1. Budgeting: Accurate construction estimation helps in budgeting for a project. A precise estimate helps the project manager to allocate resources efficiently, and to monitor the costs and expenses. This ensures that the project stays on budget and prevents unexpected cost overruns.

  2. Planning: Construction estimation is an essential part of the planning process. Accurate estimates help project managers to plan the schedule, material procurement, and manpower required to complete a project. The estimate can also help identify potential roadblocks or bottlenecks that may delay the project.

  3. Risk Management: A well-prepared construction estimate identifies potential risks and uncertainties. The estimate can help the project manager to prepare contingency plans in case of unexpected circumstances that may arise during the project.

  4. Contractual Obligations: Estimation is necessary to fulfill contractual obligations with clients. A precise estimate can help ensure that the project is completed within the agreed-upon budget and timeline.

  5. Competitive Bidding: Estimation is an essential part of the competitive bidding process. Accurate estimates can help contractors to bid competitively for projects and win contracts.

There are several reasons why it is so widely used:

  1. Accuracy: PlanSwift helps estimating professionals to create more accurate estimates by providing a platform to digitize and measure plans. This results in fewer errors and more precise measurements, which leads to more accurate cost estimates.

  2. Efficiency: PlanSwift streamlines the estimating process, making it faster and more efficient. Users can quickly and easily take off quantities, measure distances, and calculate areas. This saves time and effort and allows for more projects to be estimated in a shorter amount of time.

  3. Flexibility: PlanSwift allows for customization and flexibility in estimating. Users can create templates, formulas, and add-ons to fit their unique needs. This allows for more specific and accurate estimates, tailored to the needs of the individual project.

  4. Collaboration: PlanSwift allows for collaboration among team members, which is essential in the construction industry. Multiple team members can work on the same estimate, in real-time, from different locations. This enhances communication and helps ensure everyone is on the same page.

  5. Integration: PlanSwift integrates with other software programs commonly used in the construction industry, such as Excel and QuickBooks. This allows for a seamless transfer of data and eliminates the need for double entry.

Material takeoff is the process of calculating the quantity and type of materials required for a construction project. It involves taking information from construction drawings, specifications, and other project documents, and using that information to determine the quantities of materials needed to complete the project.

The material takeoff process typically involves the following steps:

  1. Reviewing project documents: The estimator or project manager will review the construction drawings, specifications, and other project documents to understand the scope of the project, the materials required, and any specific requirements.

  2. Identifying materials: The estimator or project manager will identify the materials required for the project, including the type, size, and quantity of each material.

  3. Quantifying materials: The estimator or project manager will use various methods to quantify the materials required, such as counting the number of doors or windows needed, measuring the length of walls or pipes, or calculating the area of a floor or roof.

  4. Creating a material list: The estimator or project manager will create a detailed list of all the materials required for the project, including the quantity, type, and cost of each material.

  5. Updating the estimate: The material takeoff information is used to update the project estimate, which includes the cost of labor, equipment, and other project expenses, as well as the cost of the materials identified in the material takeoff.

The material takeoff process is critical to the success of a construction project, as it helps ensure that the necessary materials are available when needed, and that the project stays within budget.

For cost estimates and material takeoffs, we use a combination of software and tools such as PlanSwift, Bluebeam, Trimble, RS Means, Cost Works, Xactimate, and Quest Estimating. These tools allow us to provide accurate estimates and takeoffs by utilizing industry-standard databases and formulas.

Our process for completing estimates and takeoffs involves a thorough review of the project plans and specifications. We then input the necessary data into our estimating software and tools to generate a detailed cost estimate and material takeoff. We also take into consideration any specific requirements or preferences the client may have.

The time it takes to complete an estimate or takeoff can vary depending on the size and complexity of the project. Typically, we can provide an estimate within 24-48 hours of receiving the project information.

Yes, we can provide references from past clients upon request. We are proud of our track record of successful projects and satisfied clients.

We ensure the accuracy of our estimates and takeoffs by using industry-standard databases and formulas, as well as regularly updating our cost database based on zip code.

Yes, we can accommodate rush jobs if needed. We understand that sometimes projects require a quick turnaround time and we are able to provide our services in a timely manner.

In addition to our standard estimating and takeoff services, we also offer value engineering and cost analysis. These services can help identify areas where costs can be reduced without compromising the quality of the project.

We understand that changes or updates to the project scope can occur during the estimation process. We handle these changes by communicating with the client and ensuring that any updates are reflected in the estimate or takeoff. We work closely with the client to ensure that the estimate accurately reflects the current scope of the project.
