Construction estimating services for Canadian contractors
Construction estimating and quantity takeoff services for Canadian contractors in Ontario, BC, Alberta, Quebec and across Canada. Metric or imperial, priced in CAD.
We prepare quantity takeoffs and cost estimates for general contractors, trades and builders across Canada. Canadian drawings often mix metric and imperial dimensions, and we take off and report in whichever system you bid in.
Estimates can be organized by CSI MasterFormat, which is widely used in Canada, or by your own template, and priced in Canadian dollars using your rates or current local pricing.
