Our Range of Mechanical Estimating Services
HVAC Estimating
We convert HVAC drawings into precise mechanical takeoffs and estimates, covering air handling units, chillers, boilers, ductwork, diffusers, insulation, accessories, labor hours, and total material costs.
Piping & Plumbing Estimating
Accurate estimates for chilled water, hot water, steam, gas, and process piping systems, including fittings, valves, supports, insulation, and installation labor.
Ductwork Estimating
Detailed ductwork takeoffs for supply, return, and exhaust systems, including sheet metal quantities, fittings, accessories, insulation, and fabrication labor.
Commercial Mechanical Estimating
We deliver reliable mechanical estimates for offices, hospitals, schools, shopping centers, hotels, data centers, and other commercial facilities.
Industrial Mechanical Estimating
Comprehensive mechanical estimates for industrial projects by analyzing engineering drawings, PFDs, and P&IDs for plants, refineries, manufacturing units, and power facilities.
Residential Mechanical Estimating
From single-family homes to high-rise residential buildings, we estimate complete mechanical systems including HVAC, ventilation, piping, and energy-efficient solutions.
Accurate & Reliable Mechanical Cost Estimation
Mechanical systems are complex and cost-intensive. Even small estimating errors can lead to budget overruns, coordination issues, and delays. Our mechanical estimating services deliver trade-specific takeoffs and realistic pricing to support profitable bids and smooth execution.
We work closely with mechanical contractors to ensure every system component is correctly measured and priced.
Why Mechanical Estimating Is Important
Mechanical costs represent a major portion of construction budgets. Inaccurate estimates can result in profit loss, change orders, and scheduling conflicts. Professional mechanical estimating ensures materials, labor, equipment, and system components are fully accounted for—reducing risk and improving bid accuracy.

What Makes Our Mechanical Estimates Reliable
Accuracy is not just about numbers; it’s about experience and process. Every estimate goes through a structured workflow that includes drawing analysis, scope verification, quantity validation, and pricing review. This reduces errors, omissions, and costly assumptions. We stay updated with material prices, labor rates, and regional cost trends, allowing us to produce realistic and defensible estimates that stand up during bidding and execution.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is mechanical estimating?
Mechanical estimating is the process of calculating the total cost of mechanical systems in a construction project. It includes HVAC, ductwork, piping, equipment, materials, labor hours, and installation costs to prepare accurate and competitive bids.
Who should hire mechanical estimating services?
Mechanical estimating services are ideal for mechanical contractors, HVAC contractors, general contractors, plumbing and piping contractors, developers, and consultants who need accurate cost data for bidding and project planning.
Do you provide HVAC and piping takeoffs?
Yes. We provide detailed HVAC and piping takeoffs, including ductwork, air handling units, chillers, boilers, pipes, fittings, valves, insulation, supports, and all related accessories.
What documents are required for mechanical estimating?
We typically require mechanical drawings, specifications, schedules, and scope details. If drawings are incomplete, we can still prepare preliminary or budget-level estimates based on available information.
How long does it take to deliver a mechanical estimate?
Turnaround time depends on project size and complexity. Most mechanical estimates are delivered within 24 to 72 hours, while large or complex projects may take slightly longer.
