Fixtures, domestic water, sanitary waste and vent, storm, gas piping, water heaters and labor, measured from your P-sheets and priced in Excel.
Plumbing estimates depend on two things: an exact fixture count and a careful pipe takeoff by system, material and size. Miss a riser, forget the underground or skip the fittings allowance and the number on your bid is wrong before it leaves the office. Our plumbing estimating service measures every system on your drawings and prices it line by line.
We work with plumbing contractors, mechanical contractors who self-perform plumbing, and general contractors who want a plumbing number to check against sub bids. You send the plumbing plans, riser diagrams, fixture schedules and specifications; we deliver an Excel estimate organized by CSI Division 22 with quantities, material and labor pricing, and marked-up PDFs.
Underground and above-ground work are separated, rough-in and trim-out are separated, and each piping system is listed by material and size. That makes it easy to schedule crews, price alternates such as PEX versus copper, and compare your bid with others on the list.
Water closets, urinals, lavatories, sinks, showers, mop basins, drinking fountains, bottle fillers and emergency fixtures are counted from the fixture schedule and plans with carriers, supplies, stops and trim. Water heaters, booster pumps, recirculation pumps, expansion tanks and backflow preventers are listed from the equipment schedule.
Cold, hot and hot water return piping is measured by material, whether copper, PEX, CPVC or other, and by size, with valves, hammer arrestors, mixing valves and insulation included as specified.
Underground waste piping, above-ground waste and vent, stacks and vent-through-roof penetrations are measured by material and size from the plans and riser diagrams, with cleanouts and floor drains counted separately.
Roof drains, overflow drains, conductors, horizontal storm piping and connections to site storm are taken off and coordinated with the roof plan and civil drawings.
Natural gas and propane piping is measured from the meter to each appliance by size and material, with regulators, valves and connections to mechanical and kitchen equipment.
Grease interceptors, oil separators, trap primers, pipe insulation, sleeves, firestopping at penetrations, disinfection and pressure testing are priced so nothing is left to change orders.
We read the full plumbing set together with the architectural floor plans, reflected ceiling plans and civil utility drawings, because plumbing routing depends on all three. Riser diagrams and isometrics are used to capture vertical piping that is invisible on the floor plans.
Pipe is measured system by system in PlanSwift or Bluebeam and reported by material, size and location, with underground and above-ground work kept apart. Fittings are added using allowances appropriate to the system and building type, and every fixture is counted against the schedule so totals reconcile.
Labor is applied from recognised plumbing labor units adjusted for building type, pipe size, working height and the project's location. Material pricing reflects current regional supplier costs, and the summary separates material, labor, equipment, fixture packages, overhead and profit.
We estimate plumbing for restaurants with grease interceptors and kitchen equipment connections, apartments and podium multifamily, offices and tenant improvements, schools, medical offices and hospitals, hotels, retail and industrial buildings, along with renovation and fixture replacement work.

Yes. Underground, above-ground rough-in and fixture trim-out are separate sections so you can schedule and price each phase.
Yes. When the specifications allow alternates, we can show the domestic water piping in both materials so you can choose.
On most projects fittings are priced through allowances by system and size, which is how most plumbing contractors bid. Detailed fitting counts can be provided on request.
Yes. Natural gas, propane, roof drains and storm piping are included when they are part of the plumbing scope on your drawings.
Single-trade estimates start from $150. Your quote confirms the price and delivery date based on the size of the drawing set.
Yes, as long as the drawings are legible and scaled. We note any information we could not confirm in the clarifications.
Send your drawings and we'll reply with a price and delivery date before any work starts.
