What We Quantify for Plumbing Estimating
Our estimators extract every physical component from architectural, structural, and engineering drawing sets, leaving zero scope to guesswork:
- Itemized plumbing estimating material, fixture, assembly, and accessory takeoff from PDF/CAD/BIM plans
- Equipment electrical-vs-mechanical responsibility matrix (VFDs, disconnects, BAS wiring)
- Plenum/shaft congestion labour adjustments and BIM coordination allowances
- Firestopping, seismic bracing, housekeeping pads, and commissioning costs
Critical Bid Risks Prevented
Contractors lose profit when hidden elevations, missing addenda, or unpriced coordination items are overlooked. Our dual-estimator review actively catches:
- Double-counted or unowned VFD starters, duct smoke detectors, and motorized damper power
- Undersized electrical switchgear feeders when mechanical schedules change in late addenda
- Unbudgeted BIM 3D clash coordination hours on hospital, lab, and high-rise projects
