Construction Estimating Services
Full construction estimates for general contractors, subcontractors, builders and developers, covering every trade from sitework to finishes, priced at regional rates and delivered in 24–48 hours.
Estimates you can bid, budget and build from.
Construction estimating services from NYNMO Estimating give contractors, builders and developers a complete, line-item estimate for a project, built from the plans and specifications you provide. Our estimators take off every trade, organize the work by CSI division, and price material, labor and equipment at current rates for your project's region, so you have a number you can bid with confidence or take to an owner or lender.
Every estimate is prepared by experienced construction estimators, not generated from square-foot averages. We read the drawings the way a builder does, follow scope across architectural, structural, civil and MEP sheets, and call out assumptions, exclusions and items that need clarification. The result is an estimate you can review line by line and adjust to your own markups and subcontractor quotes.
What makes a reliable construction estimate
A reliable estimate starts with complete quantities. We measure every element on screen in PlanSwift and Bluebeam, apply waste and productivity factors by trade, and price each line at regional material and labor rates. General conditions, overhead and profit are shown separately, so you can see exactly what makes up the total and match the estimate to how your company bids.

An estimating partner, not a number generator.
Fast estimates are only valuable when they are right. We build accuracy into every project with a consistent process:
- Scope review of every sheet and specification section before takeoff begins.
- Trade-by-trade takeoff by estimators who specialize in that work.
- Regional pricing for material and labor in your project's market.
- Internal review of quantities and pricing before delivery.
- Revisions included for reasonable plan changes and addenda.
You get a clear estimate, marked-up plans showing what was measured, and a list of assumptions and exclusions you can carry into your bid.

Common questions about construction estimating.
Answers to the questions contractors ask most before ordering an estimate.
What are construction estimating services?
Construction estimating services prepare a detailed cost estimate for a project from its plans and specifications, including quantities, material, labor, equipment, overhead and profit, so contractors can bid and owners can budget.
How accurate are your estimates?
Our estimates are built from detailed quantity takeoffs and current regional pricing, not square-foot averages. Accuracy depends on how complete the drawings are, and we note any assumptions where information is missing.
What do you need to start an estimate?
Plans and specifications, any addenda, the project location and your bid date. If you have a preferred format or markup, send that too.
How long does a construction estimate take?
Most estimates are delivered within 24 to 48 hours of receiving complete plans. Large or complex projects may take longer, and we confirm the timeline before we begin.
Which regions do you serve?
We provide construction estimating for projects in the USA, Australia, Canada and the UK, with pricing benchmarked to each region.
