Construction estimating services, end to end

A quantity takeoff measures and counts what the drawings show (square footage, linear footage, cubic yards, unit counts), and produces a list of quantities with no money attached. An estimate takes those quantities and applies material prices, labor hours, equipment costs, overhead and profit to produce a bid number. MassBid delivers both together in every package.

Pick the service that matches your trade: MEP estimating for mechanical, electrical or plumbing; excavation for sitework; remodeling for tenant improvements. We isolate only the divisions that apply to you and format the result for the bid sheet the GC asked you to fill in.

GC estimating. It covers every CSI division present on the drawings in a single package, with overhead, profit, insurance and contingency applied, formatted to the owner or CM template you have to submit.

Yes, and most projects do. A typical package pairs a commercial or GC estimate with CPM scheduling, or a preliminary estimate at concept stage followed by a full estimate once the construction documents land.

Cost estimating services do. CPM scheduling is quoted per project because schedule duration depends on project complexity rather than drawing count. We confirm the timeline with your quote.
