Our Professional Material Estimating Process
In Texas, the prices of the materials are not controlled by a single body. They vary based on cities and even small areas. For instance, the material prices in Dallas are different compared to Austin and Houston. But we provide estimates based on the zip codes, delivering you end-to-end material estimating support so you do not face any type of difficulty.
Step 1
Our estimation process starts with the assessment of the drawings; we identify the materials in the blueprints and categorize them in a sequence.
Step 2
Our engineers measure the material quantities and volumes using high-end technology such as Bluebeam Revu, ProEst, or PlanSwift and relevant programs.
Step 3
After quantification, we coordinate with the local suppliers and vendors to collect the data on realistic prices and then calculate the materials cost.
Step 4
We also provide direct and indirect cost analysis that helps to separate the visible and the hidden expenses so you can make informed decisions.
Step 5
When the material estimate is completed, our estimates are reviewed by the quality assurance team, which identifies and corrects the errors and then delivers it to the client.
