About the service

Accurate estimates are the foundation of every successful project. Studies show that 9 out of 10 construction projects go over budget, with an average cost overrun of 28%, and only 31% finishing within 10% of their original estimate. Knowing the true cost of materials before construction begins helps you plan confidently and avoid surprises. Our estimates break down every part of your project—new build, addition, or remodel—into a clear, itemized list of materials and pricing.

The process starts by reviewing your blueprints, sketches, or project notes. From there, experienced staff calculate the quantities of lumber, hardware, finishes, and specialty items needed. Estimates also take into account different product lines, so you can compare options that fit both your design and your budget. Every estimate is designed to be transparent, easy to understand, and useful not just for planning but for ordering materials when you’re ready to build.

Whether you’re a contractor balancing multiple projects or a homeowner tackling a remodel, a detailed estimate makes the difference between guesswork and a project that stays on track.

Freqently Asked Questions

Here are answers to some of the most common questions we receive.

How long does an estimate take?

Typical estimates are ready within 10 business days. Larger or more complex projects may take a little longer, but timelines will always be communicated upfront.

What information do I need to provide?

The more detail you can provide, the more accurate the estimate will be. Blueprints or CAD drawings are ideal, but sketches, room dimensions, or photos can also be used as a starting point.

Can I request multiple versions of an estimate?

Yes. Many customers ask for estimates that compare different materials—such as treated vs. untreated lumber, or premium vs. standard finishes. This allows you to choose the option that works best for your project and budget.

Do estimates include labor costs?

Estimates focus on material quantities and pricing. Labor costs vary by contractor and project scope, but the itemized materials list can be used by your builder to calculate their portion more accurately.
