Services

What we can take off your desk.

The takeoff, the estimate, the bid documents, and the drawings, purchase orders and schedule around them. Take one, or hand over the whole package.

01

Estimating

Estimates for bidding, construction and production planning, covering all 16 CSI divisions.

  • Detailed quantity takeoffs, construction assemblies, and labor and material pricing at accurate market-based rates.
  • Every division you need priced — from sitework and concrete through finishes, mechanical and electrical.
  • Clear, production-ready numbers you can put straight into a competitive bid or a project budget.

02

Takeoffs

Measured quantities pulled straight off your drawings, sheet by sheet, with full construction detailing.

  • Every item measured, counted and scheduled against the plan set, with sheet and detail references on each line.
  • Delivered in Excel, or on your own takeoff template if you have one.
  • Marked-up plans come with it, so you can trace any quantity back to the line it was measured from.

03

Bidding

Complete bid preparation, so the package you submit is complete the first time.

  • Bid forms, bid preparation documents, and general and supplementary forms filled out and checked.
  • Specifications, insurance requirements, bonds and all required supporting documents assembled.
  • Invitations tracked, sub quotes leveled scope-for-scope, and the package out ahead of the due date.

04

Procurement

Quotes chased, compared and turned into purchase orders, across every construction division.

  • Requesting and comparing quotes from local vendors and trades across all construction divisions for competitive bidding.
  • Post-award sourcing and booking of construction materials, suppliers and trades — availability, pricing and delivery dates confirmed.
  • Preparation and management of stage-wise purchase orders for all construction materials and services throughout the project.

05

Drafting

Architectural drafting and design support built to international standards.

  • Contract drawings, detailed drawings, setouts, permit sets and coordinated revisions.
  • Accurate gross and net area calculations, coverage, setbacks and space planning.
  • Everything aligned with the applicable bylaws, codes and project requirements.

06

Industrial

Estimating for industrial projects — piping, concrete, structural and general construction work.

  • Accurate quantity takeoffs and detailed cost estimates for industrial facilities, tanks and specialized scopes.
  • Process equipment, long-lead items and specialty fabrication accounted for up front.
  • Priced to the same standard as the building trades, in the same format.

07

Civil

Sitework and civil quantities — cut and fill, drainage, paving, curbs and structures.

  • Earthwork volumes taken off grading plans, with import and export quantities called out.
  • Underground utilities, storm and sanitary, base course, asphalt and concrete flatwork.
  • Quantified and priced to the same standard as the building scopes.

08

Documentation

Construction documents put together the way reviewers and subs expect to receive them.

  • Scope sheets, specification sections, submittal logs and sub scope packages.
  • Documents organized and indexed so reviewers and trades find what they need without calling you.
  • Formatted and ready to submit — no reformatting on your end.

09

Scheduling

CPM schedules with a defined critical path, in Primavera P6 or MS Project.

  • Baseline schedule, activity sequencing, durations and milestones you can hold subs to.
  • Work breakdown structure tied back to the estimate, so the numbers and the dates agree.
  • Look-ahead schedules and updates as the job moves.

Process

How it works

Three steps, and you're not chasing us for updates in between.

  1. 01

    You send the plans

    Drawings, specs, addenda and the bid date — PDF, DWG, or a link to the plan room.

  2. 02

    We confirm scope and turnaround

    Which divisions you want priced, what the deliverable looks like, and when it lands. Before any work starts.

  3. 03

    You get the takeoff and estimate

    Excel takeoff, priced estimate and marked-up plans — with backup for every line if the number gets questioned.
