Construction Estimating Services in Texas

Texas has one of the largest construction markets in the United States, spanning high-rise and mid-rise commercial work in the major metros, large industrial and warehouse projects, multifamily, healthcare, schools and public works. Estimators and project teams are often stretched across overlapping bid dates, which is where outsourced takeoff and estimating support helps.

How we support Texas contractors

Estimating is done remotely from your drawings, so we can support any Texas project regardless of city. We price masonry, concrete, tile, MEP, roofing, drywall, sitework and solar scopes, and we prepare structural drafting, permit drawings and shop drawings for submittal.

Public bidding in Texas

Texas public work is advertised through state and local procurement portals, including the Electronic State Business Daily and city, county and school-district sites. Texas public works contracts are generally subject to prevailing wage requirements under Texas Government Code Chapter 2258; always confirm the rates and requirements stated in your solicitation with the awarding entity.

Permit drawings in Texas

Permit requirements vary by city and county. We prepare permit drawings to the submittal checklist from your jurisdiction. Drawings that require an engineer's seal are reviewed and sealed by an engineer licensed in Texas.
