How We Prepare Cost Estimate & Quantity Takeoffs for Exterior Finishing

Measuring and Assessing the Project Area

We begin by conducting a thorough assessment of the exterior surfaces that need finishing. This includes measuring the total area, identifying architectural details, and noting any unique features of the project. We use precise measurement tools and techniques to ensure that every square foot is accounted for accurately .

 

Calculating Material Needs

Next, we calculate the exact quantities of materials required for the exterior finishing. This involves determining the amount of siding, paint, trim, insulation, and other necessary materials. We take into consideration the type and quality of materials specified by the client, as well as allowances for waste and cutting. Our goal is to provide a detailed list of materials that ensures sufficient supply without excess.

Determining Labor and Installation Costs

We then evaluate the labor costs associated with the exterior finishing work. This includes estimating the time and skill level needed for tasks such as installing siding, applying paint, and fitting trim. We consider the complexity of the project, the experience required for specialized finishes, and local labor rates. Our labor cost estimates are designed to reflect realistic and competitive pricing.

Adding Additional Costs and Contingencies

We factor in additional costs that may be incurred during the project. This includes expenses for equipment rental, scaffolding, site preparation, and any special tools required. We also include contingencies to cover unexpected issues or changes in project scope, such as unforeseen site conditions or client modifications. These contingencies help ensure that the project budget remains realistic and manageable.

Using Advanced Estimation Software

To enhance accuracy and efficiency, we utilize industry-leading software like PlanSwift and Bluebeam, Square Takeoff & RSMeans. These tools enable us to perform precise digital takeoffs and generate detailed estimates quickly. The software helps us visualize the project, identify potential issues early, and provide highly accurate material and labor calculations.

Providing Detailed Reports

Finally, we compile all the collected data into comprehensive and easy-to-understand reports. These reports include itemized lists of materials, detailed labor cost breakdowns, and summaries of additional expenses. We also provide visual aids, such as digital screenshots and 3D renderings, to help clients grasp the scope and details of the project. Our reports are designed to facilitate informed decision-making and ensure that clients have a clear understanding of the project costs.

Our estimators assist site contractors in preparing bids by providing detailed cost estimates for your scope of work. This includes a thorough analysis of bid documents, identification of the scope of work, digital takeoff, and pricing of each line item for material, labor, and equipment using PlanSwift, Bluebeam, Square Takeoff and RSMeans. Our developed database is based on Zip code location.
