Estimation Hub is a construction estimating company supporting general contractors and subcontractors with quantity takeoffs, detailed cost estimates, project budgets, and change-order pricing. We work from construction drawings, specifications, addenda, schedules, and available project information to turn the documented scope into organized quantities and cost information that can be reviewed and used for budgeting, bidding, and cost planning.
Our work is focused entirely on construction estimating. Depending on the project and stage of design, we prepare detailed quantity takeoffs, itemized cost estimates, budget and conceptual estimates, and pricing for changes or revised scope.
For detailed estimates, measured quantities can be developed into material, labor, equipment, unit-cost, and overall pricing organized by trade and scope. For earlier-stage projects, available drawings and project information are used to establish structured budgets as the design develops.
We do not perform construction or represent ourselves as the contractor building the project. Our role is to prepare and organize the estimating information contractors use to understand scope, develop pricing, prepare bids, and evaluate cost impacts.
Estimation Hub supports both general contractors and subcontractors, with the estimating approach adjusted to the level of scope each contractor needs to price.
For general contractors, estimating may cover complete multi-trade project scopes for new construction and renovation work. This can include quantity takeoffs, detailed cost development, project budgets, scope breakdowns, and other estimating information needed to review the overall project.
For subcontractors and specialty firms, the estimate is focused on the specific trade or bid package. Drawings, specifications, schedules, addenda, vendor information, and applicable scope requirements are reviewed to develop trade-specific quantities and pricing.
Every estimate begins with the available construction documents. We review drawings, specifications, addenda, schedules, and scope information to understand what is included and how the work should be measured and organized.
Quantities are then developed by trade, scope, assembly, or measurable item. Depending on the estimate, these quantities can be combined with material, labor, equipment, unit-cost, vendor, and other applicable pricing information.
Before the estimate is finalized, the quantities, scope coverage, assumptions, and pricing information are reviewed for consistency. Where project information is incomplete or unclear, the estimate can identify assumptions or items requiring clarification rather than silently filling gaps.
Construction projects change as drawings develop, addenda are issued, and scope is clarified. Our estimating work is organized around the information available for each project so quantities, pricing, assumptions, and revisions can be traced back to the documents being estimated.
The objective is a clear, structured estimate that allows the contractor to review the scope and understand how the project cost has been developed.
