Construction Cost Estimates and Take Offs

ADDMORE provide accurate takeoffs and estimates, quick turnaround, Scalability and clear communication for architectural and interior fit-out construction projects in one or all of the following formats:
- Preliminary Estimate
Preliminary estimates are approximate estimates. This is because they are not final—they give a ballpark idea of how much a project will cost.
A preliminary estimate is made at the very beginning of a project when there’s limited information available.
- Detailed Estimate
A business can convert a preliminary estimate to a detailed estimate. A detailed estimate is drawn up when there’s more information available or the scope of the project is better known.
Detailed estimates include incredibly detailed information on quantities, costs and rates—in fact, all items necessary to complete the project. All the line items are added together to reach the final cost.
Besides these line items, detailed estimates can also include:
- Information on the rates used to calculate costs
- Specifications
- Drawings for the areas included in the project (including an index and key)
Detailed estimates are often used as a contractor’s budget estimate. This planning tool helps him know how much cash flow he needs and whether he requires financing.
- Quantity Estimate
A quantity estimate includes a list of quantities for all materials needed to complete a project. Its purpose is to give the client a complete list of all the quantities required for the project and what the cost will be for each quantity. It is a key estimating method in construction.
- Bid Estimate
A bid estimate is submitted to a potential client in hopes of winning a project i.e. to provide the best price to hopefully outbid competitors.
