Commercial Estimating
Offices, retail and fit-outs, estimated tight enough to win and hold margin.
About commercial estimating
Commercial work is competitive and multi-trade, which is exactly where a rushed estimate leaks money. We build detailed, division-organized estimates for offices, retail, fit-outs and mixed-use so you can bid tight without bidding blind.
Every trade is taken off from the drawings, priced current, and organized by CSI division so a project manager can review it fast. Assumptions and exclusions are written down so the bid holds up in a scope review.
