About Our Orlando Construction Cost Estimation Services
Bids Analytics provides construction estimator orlando solutions tailored to Central Florida’s unique construction environment. Orlando, known for its stunning waterfront properties, vibrant community, and growing commercial sector including world-renowned theme parks and hospitality venues, presents distinct construction challenges requiring specialized local expertise.
Residential construction accounts for half of Orlando’s construction spending, making accurate residential estimates critical.

Labor costs in Orlando range from $70 to $300 per hour depending on expertise required.
We use PlanSwift, Bluebeam, RSMeans, Xactimate, and Accubid for precise quantity extraction.
