ViewOur process
From plans to a bid-ready estimate in four steps
Send your plans
Email PDF drawings and specs, or share a Dropbox, Google Drive or bid-portal link. Bid sets, schematic, design development, construction documents and conceptual drawings all work.
Get a quote
We review the set and reply with a price, turnaround time and delivery date for your scope. You approve before any work starts.
NDA and 50% deposit
We sign an NDA so your plans stay private. Work starts on a 50% deposit by card through our secure online checkout. A W-9 is available on request.
Receive your estimate
You get quantities and material and labor pricing in Excel, organized by CSI division, plus marked-up plans. The remaining 50% is due on delivery.
Why contractors use us
Estimates you can check, not just trust
Excel you can actually use
Every estimate arrives as a working Excel file with quantities, waste factors, unit material and labor costs, and a cost-per-square-foot summary. Use our layout or send your own template.
Organized by CSI MasterFormat
Line items are grouped by CSI division and section, so they drop straight into your bid form, schedule of values or subcontractor comparison.
Marked-up plans you can check
Takeoffs are done in PlanSwift and Bluebeam. You get colour-coded markups showing exactly what was measured, so nothing is a black box.
Turnaround built around bid day
We schedule delivery ahead of your bid date so you have time to review quantities and compare them against sub and supplier quotes.
Talk to the estimator
Questions about a quantity or an assumption? Book a call with the estimator who did the work. Revisions for addenda are quoted up front.
Confidential by default
We sign an NDA on every project. Your drawings, pricing and client names are never shared.

Frequently asked questions
Can't find your answer? Call (850) 343-4090 or email info@premiumestimatings.com.
What file formats do you accept?
PDF drawings are best. We also work from DWG/DXF files and from plan links on bid portals, Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive. Include specifications and addenda if you have them.
How do you charge?
Each project gets a price based on the scope and the size of the drawing set. We take 50% to start and the remaining 50% when we deliver the estimate.
Do you offer free sample estimates?
We don't do free test estimates, but new clients can order a first sample estimate at half price to check our quality before committing to larger work.
What does the estimate include?
Quantities with waste factors, unit material and labor costs, equipment where relevant, subtotals by CSI division, markups for overhead, profit, insurance and contingency if you want them, and a summary sheet with cost per square foot.
Where does your pricing come from?
Unit costs are built from current material pricing and labor rates for the project's location. If you prefer, we can price with your own labor rates, crew productivity or supplier quotes.
