    FAQs

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Most estimates are delivered within 24 to 48 hours of receiving your drawings and project scope. For larger or more complex projects such as full MEP coordination or multi-trade commercial builds, turnaround may extend to 72 hours. We always confirm the timeline upfront before starting work so you can plan your bid submission accordingly.



    We accept PDF, DWG, DXF, RVT (Revit), and most standard CAD formats. If you have physical blueprints, scanned high-resolution copies work fine too. The clearer the drawings, the more precise your estimate will be,  but our team is experienced at working with early-stage or incomplete documentation as well.

    Absolutely. We work with GCs, subcontractors, developers, architects, and owners directly. Whether you need a full multi-trade estimate or a single-trade takeoff for bidding a specific scope, we tailor the deliverable to your exact needs. Many of our repeat clients are specialty subcontractors who need fast, accurate quantities for competitive bidding.

    Our estimators continuously update their pricing databases using current supplier quotes, published cost indices, and real-time market data specific to the New York metro area. We factor in prevailing wage rates, borough-level labor costs, material lead times, and seasonal pricing fluctuations — so your estimate doesn’t just reflect what things cost nationally, but what they actually cost to build in New York today.

    Yes, scope changes are a normal part of construction. We offer revision services for estimates where the design, specifications, or quantities have changed after the initial delivery. Depending on the extent of the changes, revisions are typically turned around within 12 to 24 hours.
