Commercial Estimating Services
In Mega estiating, we do offer professional commercial estimating services where we assist contractors, developers, and architects to win more bids with accurate, fast, and reliable cost estimates. Our team also provides the detailed quantity takeoffs, cost estimates, and bid support of any kind of commercial work – office towers, hospitals, and we will make sure that you are bidding competently and profitably.
What are Commercial Estimating Services?
Commercial estimating refers to the calculation of total material, labor, and overhead expenses of huge building projects like offices, hotels, malls, and industrial complexes.
Commercial construction estimating involves more analysis, more sophisticated software, and up-to-date market prices as opposed to residential estimating, which is concerned with smaller and simpler constructions. Mega Estimating gives you the advantage of having professional accuracy, fast turnaround, and data that you can rely on to make decisions.
Budgets, budgetary overruns, and competitive bids that make you win need to be controlled by accurate commercial estimates.
