Expert Estimating You Can Rely On
Structural work is the backbone of every construction project and typically represents 15–25% of total hard costs on commercial buildings. Errors in structural estimates, missed rebar tonnage, incorrect concrete volumes, or underpriced steel connections, can turn a profitable project into a loss. Tech MEP Estimates employs structural estimators with hands-on field and engineering backgrounds who perform detailed quantity takeoffs directly from structural drawings. Using Bluebeam Revu and Trimble Estimation, we capture every footing, column, beam, slab, and connection, applying current material pricing and regional labor rates to produce estimates that GCs, structural contractors, and owners can rely on from conceptual budget through final GMP.
How We Deliver Your Estimate
Structural Drawing Review
We review structural drawings, general notes, schedules, and geotechnical reports to fully understand system types, concrete mixes, rebar schedules, and steel specifications.
Quantity Takeoff & Pricing
Our estimators perform a complete digital takeoff, concrete volumes, rebar tonnage, steel tonnage, deck square footage, and apply current regional material and labor rates.
Detailed Estimate Delivery
You receive a CSI-organized, line-item structural estimate with quantities, unit costs, labor breakdown, and alternate pricing for value engineering options.
Our Track Record
500+ Projects Delivered Nationwide
Trusted by contractors, GCs, and developers across the country for accurate, timely cost estimates across every trade and project type.
Why Contractors Trust Us
Engineering-Level Accuracy
Our structural estimators have backgrounds in structural engineering and field supervision, they understand rebar lap splices, formwork cycles, and steel connection details that less experienced estimators miss.
Rebar & PT Specialists
Reinforcing steel and post-tensioning are among the most labor-intensive items to estimate accurately. We perform bar-by-bar takeoffs organized by slab, wall, and column elements.
Steel Fabrication Pricing
We price structural steel by tonnage, connection type, and fabrication complexity, with access to current AISC and mill pricing to reflect real market costs.
Formwork & Shoring Included
We include complete formwork take-off for all cast-in-place concrete, wall forms, slab shoring, elevated deck forming, which is often a major cost driver overlooked in preliminary estimates.
All Structural Systems
Cast-in-place concrete, precast, tilt-up, structural steel, light-gauge, masonry, and hybrid systems, we have experience estimating every structural system type across all building occupancies.
48-Hour Turnaround
Structural estimates are delivered within 48 business hours on most projects. We understand that GC bid schedules move fast and we stay ahead of your deadlines.
