Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions contractors most often ask before requesting an estimate.
What types of projects do you estimate?
We prepare estimates for residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional projects, from single-trade takeoffs to full multi-trade scopes.
What file formats can I upload?
You can upload PDF, DWG, and DXF plan sets, or Revit files. If your files are in another format, send them over, and we’ll confirm we can work with them.
How long does the estimating process take?
Most single-trade estimates are delivered within 24 to 48 hours. Larger, multi-trade projects typically take 3 to 5 business days, depending on scope.
How are estimates delivered?
Estimates are delivered as organized Excel workbooks and PDF reports, broken down by trade and CSI division for easy review.
Are project files kept confidential?
Yes. Every plan set and project file is handled under strict confidentiality, and we’re glad to sign an NDA before you share drawings.
