CONCRETE ESTIMATING AND TAKEOFF SERVICES
Concrete is used in massive amounts in the construction industry, and it is one of the primary materials needed to construct a building, including civil works. Estimating the quantity of the concrete is highly important and one of the first steps for bidding on a new project or tender. In addition to that, many contractors need the rebar estimate to place their orders with the suppliers. It becomes important yet difficult for a contractor to do the concrete estimate in these cases. This is why concrete estimating outsourcing services from industry-famous companies such as Bids Estimating become important and makes the job easy for you.
We have a specialized concrete cost estimator for division 3 trades, certified with the American estimators organizations like American Association of Cost Engineers (AACE) and the Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors (AIQS) for concrete takeoff services.

WHY YOU SHOULD OUTSOURCE YOUR CONCRETE ESTIMATES?
Contractors involved in paving, driveways, and sidewalks are so occupied in on-site activities that their busy schedule doesn’t allow them to perform accurate estimates on their own, and eventually, they tend to overbid or underbid on their projects.

Outsourcing your construction takeoff services to a professional estimating company like ours gives you confidence and comes with the following perks:
