Estimating accurate construction cost, and identifying potential pitfalls and opportunities, is one of the most important aspects of a successful project. This is what we do, and do very well. Over 30 years of experience goes into every estimate we produce.
ESTIMATING & PROJECT MANAGEMENT SERVICES
We offer a complete selection of Cost Estimating Services including: Detailed T/M Estimates of both fabrication and installation. We are familiar with Industry Standard fabrication practices (including layout, shearing, notching, bending, welding and surface finishing of all types of metals), and can provide cost estimates for the items you intend to fabricate in-house. All we need from you, is a listing of the equipment and tooling you have available, and the Labor Rates you want applied.
