Residential Estimating

From plans to a budget you can stand behind

Residential work lives or dies on the budget. We take your plans — a custom home, a production model, an addition, or a gut remodel — and build a clear, line-item estimate.

Everything is broken out by scope so you can see where the money goes, adjust finishes, and answer client questions without redoing it all.

What you get

  • Takeoffs for the full residential scope
  • Line-item budget by phase and trade
  • Allowances for finishes and fixtures
  • Material and labor pricing if you want it
  • Scope notes in plain English
  • Editable Excel ready for client conversations

NOTES

Scope notes & clarifications

What's in, what's out, and where the plans are thin — written plainly so your bid has no surprises.

Is it a fit?

Where we help most — and where we don't

Good fit

  • You build or remodel homes and need budgets fast
  • You want allowances set for finishes and selections
  • You'd price it to your local market or rates

Probably not us

  • You need full architectural or design services
  • You want financing or mortgage cost advice
  • You expect a fixed price with no plans provided
