Process piping and industrial equipment estimates
Estimating for process and industrial facilities: process piping (Division 40), material handling, process heating and cooling, gas and liquid handling, pollution control and manufacturing equipment.
Divisions 40 through 45 cover the process side of industrial facilities: the piping and equipment that make, move and treat products. These divisions appear on manufacturing, food processing and treatment projects.
We take off process piping by size, material and schedule, count valves and instruments, and set equipment budgets from the equipment lists. Major equipment is usually quoted by vendors, so we focus on installation, setting and connections.

Why is this one page for six divisions?
Divisions 40–45 are usually estimated together on industrial projects, and each one alone is rarely bid separately. One detailed page serves contractors better than six thin ones.
Do you price process equipment?
We set budgets from equipment lists and recommend vendor quotes for major items. Installation, setting and connections are priced in detail.
