Metro Atlanta
Multifamily, office, and retail work across Fulton, Gwinnett, Cobb, and DeKalb counties, where labor availability and utility tie-in costs shift fast.
Construction estimating · Georgia
Cost estimates, quantity takeoffs, material takeoffs, and bid-ready pricing for residential, commercial, and industrial projects - from a Buckhead tower to a Statesboro warehouse. One estimating partner, however many trades a project touches.

Georgia regions covered
One state, four markets
A tenant fit-out in Midtown Atlanta prices differently than a coastal build in Chatham County, a warehouse near Warner Robins, or a custom home going up outside Dahlonega. We scope every estimate for the market the project actually sits in.
Dense schedules, competitive bids
Multifamily, office, and retail work across Fulton, Gwinnett, Cobb, and DeKalb counties, where labor availability and utility tie-in costs shift fast.
Wind, flood, and port logistics
Savannah and Brunswick area projects carry elevated construction, wind-rated assemblies, and material lead times tied to the port.
Industrial growth and military bases
Columbus, Macon, Albany, and Warner Robins mix light-industrial and warehouse growth with federal, base-adjacent construction.
Terrain-driven residential work
Athens, Gainesville, and the mountain counties see custom residential and small commercial work where site grading drives cost as much as square footage.
Core services
Each service below can stand on its own or roll into a full estimating package, scaled to the stage your project is actually at.
01
A complete labor-and-material cost estimate built from your drawings and specs, broken out by CSI division and ready to drop into a bid.
02
Every measurable item on the plan set counted and quantified - square footage, linear footage, unit counts - organized by trade and area.
03
A supplier-ready material list, sized and specced from the drawings, that you can send out for pricing without reformatting it.
04
Bid-day pricing turned around against your deadline, with a scope narrative you can hand straight to the owner or GC.
05
Early, drawing-light budget pricing for feasibility studies and design-stage decisions, before construction documents are finished.
06
Fast pricing on mid-project scope changes, cross-checked against the original estimate so nothing gets counted twice.
07
A formal bill of quantities for owners, lenders, or design teams who need a structured, line-item quantity record.
08
Overflow estimating capacity for GCs and subs during busy bid seasons, working as an extension of your in-house team.
Project types
Custom homes, including work outside Dahlonega and in the mountain counties, where site grading drives cost as much as square footage.
Repeatable, plan-based estimating for production builders working the same floor plans across multiple lots.
Multifamily work across Fulton, Gwinnett, Cobb, and DeKalb, where labor availability and utility tie-in costs shift fast.
Office, retail, and ground-up commercial, from a Buckhead tower to a Midtown Atlanta tenant fit-out.
Light-industrial and warehouse projects, from a Statesboro warehouse to growth around Columbus, Macon, Albany, and Warner Robins.
Institutional and healthcare projects estimated as their own sector, with quantities organized by trade and area.
Renovation and tenant fit-out pricing scoped to the market the project sits in, including a Midtown Atlanta fit-out.
Projects tied to military installations near Columbus and Augusta, with federal prevailing wage and certified payroll factored into labor pricing.
Trade-specific estimating
We take off and price every major trade on a project, either as part of a full estimate or as a standalone trade-specific scope.
| Division | Trade | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| DIV 22 | Plumbing | Domestic water, sanitary, gas piping |
| DIV 23 | HVAC / Mechanical | Equipment, ductwork, controls |
| DIV 26 | Electrical | Power, lighting, low voltage |
| DIV 03 | Concrete | Slabs, foundations, flatwork |
| DIV 04 | Masonry | Block, brick, stone veneer |
| DIV 05 | Structural Steel | Framing, connections, decking |
| DIV 06 | Carpentry & Framing | Rough carpentry, wood framing |
| DIV 07 | Roofing | Shingle, metal, membrane systems |
| DIV 09 | Drywall & Finishes | Gypsum board, taping, painting |
| DIV 09 | Flooring | Tile, LVP, carpet, epoxy |
| DIV 07 | Insulation | Thermal, acoustic, air barrier |
| DIV 31 | Sitework & Earthwork | Grading, excavation, utilities |
Who we work with
Full-project estimates and takeoffs formatted to drop straight into your bid package, on your deadline.
Trade-specific takeoffs and pricing scoped tightly to your bid item, without paying for a full estimate you don't need.
Repeatable, plan-based estimating for production builders working the same floor plans across multiple lots.
Early feasibility numbers to pressure-test a project before design is finished or land is under contract.
Budget checks at each design phase, so a design doesn't drift past what the project can actually afford.
An independent estimate to compare against contractor bids before you sign a construction contract.
Georgia-specific
Code, licensing, and market details that change what a Georgia project actually costs - built into the estimate rather than left for you to catch later.
Georgia's state minimum building codes are adopted with local amendments by county and city, so the same scope can price differently a county apart.
General and residential contractors are licensed at the state level; our scopes are written to match how a licensed Georgia contractor actually bids the work.
Chatham, Glynn, and Camden county projects often require wind-rated assemblies and elevated construction that change both quantities and labor.
Projects tied to Georgia's military installations near Columbus and Augusta can carry federal prevailing wage and certified payroll requirements factored into labor pricing.
North Georgia and parts of Middle Georgia bring well, septic, and steep-terrain grading considerations that a flat suburban lot never sees.
Metro Atlanta water/sewer authorities and county utility departments charge connection fees that belong in the estimate, not discovered at permitting.
How it works
01 / Share
Send us the plan set. Upload drawings, specs, and addenda. An incomplete set is fine - we'll flag what's missing before pricing starts.
02 / Scope
We confirm scope and trades. A short scope confirmation makes sure we price exactly what you're bidding, with no silent assumptions.
03 / Takeoff
Quantity and material takeoff. Every trade gets measured and counted directly off the drawings, organized by division and by area or unit.
04 / Price
Labor and material pricing applied. Current regional labor rates and material pricing are applied against the takeoff to build the full estimate.
05 / Review
Internal QA pass. A second estimator checks quantities and pricing against the drawings before anything ships.
06 / Deliver
Delivered in your format. Spreadsheet, PDF, or CSI-coded breakdown - whichever drops straight into your bid.

Where we work
What drives the price
What moves the cost of the estimate itself - separate from the cost of the construction being estimated.
| Factor | How it affects estimating cost |
|---|---|
| Project size & scope | Larger, multi-trade projects take longer to measure and QA, though repeat unit types reduce the per-unit effort. |
| Drawing completeness | Full construction documents price faster and more precisely than conceptual or partial sets, which need more assumptions. |
| Turnaround required | Same-day or next-day bid deadlines carry a rush consideration versus a standard multi-day turnaround. |
| Number of trades | A single-trade takeoff prices faster than a full multi-trade estimate spanning a dozen CSI divisions. |
| Deliverable format | A raw quantity list is quicker to produce than a fully formatted, CSI-coded bid package with narrative scope. |
