Florida labor & material pricing
Overview
Pick the service that fits where your project is
Early in design, owners and architects need a preliminary MEP budget and value engineering. At bid time, contractors need a full bid estimate or a quantity takeoff they can price themselves. After award, purchasing needs a material takeoff, and project managers need change order pricing.
Every service uses the same approach: count and measure everything on the drawings, price it to Florida labor and material costs, and show the work on marked-up drawings so your team can check it.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers to what contractors usually ask before sending plans. Don’t see your question? Call or email us.
Which service do I need for a bid?
If you want a complete price, choose MEP bid estimating. If you have your own pricing, a quantity takeoff is usually enough.
Can I combine services?
Yes. Many clients order a bid estimate with a material takeoff, or a preliminary estimate followed by VE.
Do you offer services for owners?
Yes. Owners use our preliminary estimates, BOQs, bid leveling and change order reviews.
Are load calculations included in estimates?
They’re separate services, but they can be ordered together with an estimate.
