We Read the Bid Package Like a Contractor
When it comes to bidding, there are a number of factors involved. But Texas Estimate prepares an estimate for the government construction contractors based on the latest pricing data as well as the use of the data from similar construction projects that we have worked on in the past. In this way, we provide you with 100% error-free and accurate estimates.
We Separate Compliance Costs From Construction Costs
Labor classifications, prevailing wage requirements, bonding, insurance permits, and other project-specific obligations can influence your real cost. But Texas Estimate is a professional estimating company that separates the compliance costs from construction costs.
We Trace Every Number Back to Its Scope
A government bid needs to withstand internal review. Our estimators organize all the components and ensure that there is nothing left. From trades to subtrades and the permits to all types of direct and indirect expenses, tracing all scopes is important.
We Keep the Estimate Alive When the Documents Change
Our estimators stay in touch with the clients in order to update the estimates. We ensure that the estimate is not only relatable but also updated with the passage of time. We update affected quantities when there are changes in the plan, drawings are revised, or scopes are redefined.
Government Contractor Estimating Services That Support the Entire Bid
Government contractors struggle to manage budgets. Our services are built around the documents. We provide end-to-end support to our clients. Our estimates are not only for the large-scale projects, but we also provide estimates for the small-scale Texas government projects. Our services are built around the documents, pricing requirements, labor considerations, and bid changes that shape government construction proposals.
Government Construction Quantity Takeoffs
We provide quantity takeoff services using drawings and blueprints. We break down drawings and specifications into measurable quantities so your team has a clear basis for pricing the complete scope. Our engineers extract the material quantities and categorize them while defining scopes. We account for all the trades from concrete to finishing materials and the labor hours.
Government Cost Estimating
Calculating cost is challenging, and the risk of errors is also there. But Texas Estimate uses high-end technology to calculate the overall cost of the construction project. We use Bluebeam Revu, STACK, ProEst, and PlanSwift. We develop detailed cost projection reports for the government contractors so they can prevent any type of financial damage.
Prevailing Wage Estimating
Government construction projects have prevailing wage compliance. We incorporate prevailing wage requirements into labor calculations so contractors can better understand the actual workforce cost associated with the project. We account for labor classifications, base wage rates, fringe benefits, labor burden, and work cost analysis.
MEP Estimating for Government Facilities
We have a dedicated team for the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. Government buildings often involve extensive MEP fire protection and low-voltage requirements. Our engineers provide detailed estimates for all types of government projects, ensuring HVAC, lighting, mechanical, equipment, and building controls are included.
What Type of Projects Do We Provide Estimates For
We have a large team of experts who work on all types of construction projects, including public safety, emergency, and educational or institutional projects. We complete an estimate within 24 to 48 hours. So, partner with us and reduce the downtime and get 100% error-free estimates.
