Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1. What types of projects do you estimate in Canada?

We do construction estimating services in Canada for homes, offices, factories, roads, schools and projects that have a bit of everything. Our team helps contractors, builders, developers and project teams with estimates of how much things will cost what materials they need and reports that are specific to each trade.

Q2. How long does it take to complete a construction estimate?

Most of the time we can finish an estimate in two to five business days. It really depends on how big the project’s how good the drawings are, what trades are involved and how much detail is needed. If the project is really big or has a lot of trades it might take a little longer to make sure everything is right.

Q3. Can Canadian contractors outsource multiple estimating projects?

Yes. We help contractors with estimating services all the time whether they have one project, a bunch of projects they are always bidding on or lots of different trades working on different projects in different places.

Q4. What software do you use for construction estimating?

We use tools like Bluebeam, PlanSwift, CostX and other estimating software to make sure our estimates are accurate. We use these tools to figure out how much material is needed make lists of all the materials and create reports that’re specific to each trade.

Q5. Why should contractors outsource estimating instead of hiring in-house staff?

Using our estimating services helps contractors get their work done faster meet their deadlines save money on things like offices and benefits and get help, from experienced estimators without having to hire them full time. This is especially helpful when contractors have a lot of bids to get out or their own teams need an extra help.
