Standards

How the work is done.

Accurate work, fast turnaround and clear communication, from your first message to your finished estimate.

01

Quantities checked against the drawings

Every line is measured from the set you send. Nothing is carried over from a similar job.

02

Assumptions flagged before you bid

Each line is marked D (read from the drawings) or A (assumed), so you see where the risk sits.

03

Turnaround you can plan a bid around

We confirm the delivery date with the fee, then hold it. Typically 24–48 hours, depending on scope and drawing complexity.

04

Priced by division

Estimates arrive organised by CSI division, so pricing conversations start with the numbers in the right place.

05

Estimating capacity, not estimating payroll

Use 25+ estimators for the weeks you need them, without adding anyone to the team.

06

One contact, plain answers

Short replies, no chasing. If a drawing is missing or a scope is unclear, we ask before we assume.

Questions contractors ask us

What do you need from me to start?

Your drawing set and scope, plus the bid date. PDF, DWG or a ZIP is fine. If anything is missing we tell you before we price it.

How fast will I get my estimate?

Send your drawings and scope. We reply with a quote within 30 minutes during business hours, and a bid-ready estimate typically lands in 24–48 hours, depending on scope and drawing complexity.

Which trades do you price?

Cost estimating and quantity takeoff across the full scope, plus mechanical, electrical, plumbing and specialty trades. We also prepare construction and architectural drawings, calculations and 3D visualization.

Do you work outside the United States?

Our work is built around US contractors, US bid expectations and US pricing. Ask us about anything outside that and we will tell you plainly whether we can help.

What is in a finished estimate?

A cost estimate by CSI division, the quantity takeoff behind it, allowances and alternates, and a numbered list of assumptions and exclusions. Delivered in Excel and PDF.
