What Contractors Say About Us
Trusted by 200+ contractors nationwide
“We were bidding on a 3-storey medical office building in Dallas and had a 48-hour deadline. Tech MEP Estimates delivered a complete mechanical and electrical takeoff in under 36 hours — and our bid came in within 4% of the final contract value. We won the project. That was 8 months ago and we've used them on every bid since.”
Marcus T.
Project Manager, MTK General Contractors
Dallas, TX
“I've been in electrical contracting for 22 years and I've tried three estimating services before these guys. The difference is the detail — every line item is broken down by division, every material quantity is verified, and when I've had questions they've always picked up the phone. Their 48-hour turnaround is real, not a marketing claim.”
David R.
Owner, Ridgemont Electrical Services
Atlanta, GA
“Our in-house estimator left in March and we had six bids going out that month. Tech MEP Estimates stepped in and handled all six. We won two of them — including a $1.8M commercial HVAC retrofit that we almost didn't bid because we didn't have the capacity. Outsourcing our estimating was the best business decision we made this year.”
Sandra L.
Operations Director, Apex Mechanical LLC
Phoenix, AZ
“I was sceptical about sending my project drawings to an outside firm — especially under NDA. But they handled everything professionally from day one. The plumbing takeoff for our hospital renovation project was the most detailed estimate I've received in 15 years of bidding. We've now used them on 11 projects.”
James W.
Estimating Lead, Premier Plumbing Solutions
Chicago, IL
“We use Tech MEP Estimates for early-stage budgeting on our development projects. Before breaking ground on our latest mixed-use project, their MEP budget estimate was within 6% of the final MEP contract values — which for a $12M project is exceptional accuracy. It's changed how we underwrite construction risk.”
Priya M.
Development Director, Meridian Property Group
Miami, FL
“Fast, accurate, and they actually know what they're talking about. Some services just count heads and run numbers — these guys understand NFPA codes, they flag constructability issues in the drawings, and their fire protection estimates have helped us sharpen our bids significantly. We've increased our win rate by about 30% since we started working with them.”
