Frequently Asked Questions
What does commercial construction estimating include?
+Commercial construction estimating covers all direct costs (materials, labor, equipment) for every trade from sitework through interior finishes, plus general conditions, insurance, bonds, overhead, and profit. We break down costs trade-by-trade using CSI MasterFormat divisions so every cost element is visible and defensible.
Do you estimate tenant improvement projects?
+Yes. TI estimating is a major part of our commercial practice. We estimate tenant improvements for all commercial building types — from small suite renovations to full-floor and multi-floor TI projects — with detailed MEP, finishes, and GC work breakdowns.
How do you handle high-rise construction estimating?
+High-rise estimating requires special attention to general conditions costs — tower cranes, hoisting, protection, temporary enclosures, logistics, and extended supervision. We have extensive NYC high-rise experience and break these costs out in detail rather than hiding them in a lump-sum GC line.
What is your turnaround time for commercial estimates?
+Standard commercial estimates are delivered in 3–5 business days depending on project size. Rush estimates are available in 48 hours. Large, complex projects may require additional time — we will advise upfront when you send us your documents.
