Use our estimate and make construction easy without compromising on the profit margin.
Public works construction projects involve a number of complexities. Government institutions and state authorities need an estimate that does not have a single error. Contractors must work through detailed bid specifications, prevailing wage requirements, agency standards, and bonding requirements. Without an estimate, it is extraordinarily challenging for the public works contractors to win the bid.

We review the complete bid package, quantify each trade, account for applicable labor and material costs, and organize the estimate so you can evaluate your true project cost before submitting the bid.

Public works contractors need an end-to-end estimate that is in-depth. When it comes to bidding for the government and federal construction projects, there are a number of factors involved. Accurate mechanical, electrical, and plumbing quantification, cost estimation, and material takeoff. We provide end-to-end solutions to our public works contractors so they do not face any type of financial situation during construction.
QTO is the most significant part of the construction estimate that is not only about measuring the material quantities but also helping in procurement. We use different types of tools, which enable us to calculate the overall budget of the public works construction project. Our engineers factor in all the components, including structural steel, masonry, framing, roofing, and drywall finishing, among others.
We provide cost estimates for all types of construction projects. Our engineers use the material quantities and measurements to calculate the overall cost. Instead of focusing on the entire project, we develop the construction cost in multiple steps. Our estimates include material costs, labor costs, subcontractor costs, as well as overhead or profit.
When it comes to tendering for public projects, you should consider that the prevailing wage is often required. When we develop an estimate, our engineers account for the prevailing wage. We ensure that trade-specific labor budget labor classifications, wage considerations, and fringe benefits are accounted for in the estimate. In this way, you will be able to make informed decisions.
We also provide public bid preparation and estimating services. We help contractors translate the bid documents into an organized pricing structure before the proposal deadline. Our engineers deliver you an estimate that you can use for the bidding submission. Each estimate has a bid form review, scope review, and quantity verification or addenda review.
Large-scale public work projects contain a number of complexities. You need to consider mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems separately when you are estimating. Our engineers provide dedicated estimates for all types of systems, including mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, and fire protection, as well as low-voltage systems.
Subcontractors bidding on public work can use our trade-specific estimates to verify quantities and develop accurate proposals for general contractors. We offer specialized estimates for the subcontractor. We offer trade-specific takeoffs, labor calculations, material quantities, bid pricing, and subcontractor proposal support for you.
Texas Estimate provides detailed cost modeling for all sorts of public works, including government office buildings and park and recreational facilities as well as community centers and roads or streets. Our estimators provide customized estimates based on your role and the scopes in order to prevent any type of conflict in the future.

Austin, TX
We were working on a municipal building bid with a tight submission deadline, and our internal estimator was already tied up with another project. Texas Estimate took the drawings and specifications and turned them into a detailed estimate that our team could actually review. We found a couple of missed scope items before submitting the bid, which alone made the service worthwhile.
Fort Worth, TX
The public project we were bidding for required a lot more documentation than our typical commercial work. Texas Estimate helped us break down the quantities, labor, and material costs without making the estimate difficult to follow. Their report gave us a reliable cost baseline and made our final pricing process much less hectic.
San Antonio, TX
We brought Texas Estimate in for a school improvement project involving several trades and exterior work. The estimate was detailed enough for us to compare against subcontractor proposals and identify where our numbers were out of line. Having that comparison before the bid deadline gave us much better control over the final proposal.
Houston, TX
Our team was bidding on a public infrastructure project with multiple bid items, so keeping everything organized was becoming difficult.

We were able to review each section with our project team and make pricing decisions without having to rebuild the estimate ourselves.
Dallas, TX
This was our first time bidding on a government-funded building project, and we didn't want to overlook something buried in the specifications.
