Construction Estimating Pricing & Turnaround
Fixed, upfront fees and clear delivery dates — no hourly surprises. Here’s how our pricing works and how fast we deliver.
How much does a construction estimating service cost?
Our fees are fixed per project and quoted after we review your drawings. The fee depends on project size, number of trades, drawing complexity, design completeness and deadline. Quotes are free, usually sent within one business day, and no work starts until you approve.

What Affects Your Fee?
- Size & sheet count — more drawings take longer to measure
- Number of trades — full estimates cost more than a single trade
- Complexity — healthcare, industrial and high-rise take more time
- Deliverable format — custom bid forms or lender templates
- Rush delivery — tight deadlines may carry a rush fee
Ways to Save
Send complete drawings and addenda up front, define the scope clearly, and give us your bid date early. Contractors bidding regularly can ask about monthly or multi-project arrangements.
