Estimating & Budgeting: common questions

How fast can you turn around an estimate?

Most estimates go back out in three to five business days once we have a complete set of drawings. Tell us your bid date when you send them and we will work to it.

Do you provide budget numbers before drawings are finished?

Yes. We can issue rough-order-of-magnitude budgets from early or partial drawings, then refine them into a full tender-ready estimate as the design develops.

What should I send with my request?

Structural drawings, the specification section for structural steel, any addenda, and your bid or award date. The more complete the package, the tighter the number.

Have drawings to price?

Send them over — our estimating team turns most quotes around in three to five business days.
