How We Build Winning Bids for Canadian Contractors
A transparent 5-step workflow designed to eliminate scope discrepancies, capture vertical elevations, and deliver audit-ready Excel packages in 24 to 48 hours.
Plan Submission & 15-Minute Scope Review
You upload your project plans (PDF, CAD, TIFF or ZIP archive) via our secure upload desk. Within 15 minutes, a Senior Estimator audits the sheet index, identifies addenda, clarifies scope inclusions, and delivers a guaranteed flat-fee proposal with a confirmed delivery time.
High-Precision Digital Takeoff
Using industry-standard software (Trimble Accubid, FastPIPE, FastDUCT, McCormick, PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu), we trace drawing layers, measure exact lineal runs, count devices/fixtures, calculate cubic volumes, and generate clear, color-coded visual markup drawings.
Canadian Code & Labour Calibration
We calibrate unit prices to the project postal code, provincial safety code (CEC CSA C22.1, NBC, CCQ sector rates), prevailing union wage schedules or open-shop local rates. Material allowances include current Canadian distributor freight and winter hoarding conditions.
Dual-Estimator Peer Review (QA)
Before any file leaves our desk, an independent Chief Estimator reviews the takeoff. We cross-check architectural against structural and MEP sheets, verify addenda revisions, and audit formula integrity across the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
Bid-Ready Package Delivery & Support
You receive an unlocked, fully editable Microsoft Excel Bill of Quantities (BOQ), color-coded marked-up PDF drawing sets, unpriced vendor request tabs, and an inclusions/exclusions sheet. Our estimators remain available for bid-day leveling questions or scope clarifications.
Industry Software Platforms We Operate
We invest in dedicated commercial takeoff software to ensure compatibility with your team's preferred workflows and vendor pricing databases.
