More Than Just Square Footage
In the modern construction environment, a standard square-foot multiplication is no longer sufficient to build a winning and profitable bid. Today's architectural designs feature complex geometries, intricate flooring transitions, and highly specific subfloor preparation requirements. Overlooking even a single detail can turn a profitable job into a financial loss.
Our agency specializes exclusively in flooring. We understand the nuances of every material—from broadloom carpet roll layouts to the specific mil-thickness of epoxy resins. By outsourcing your estimation process to us, you gain access to an entire team of highly specialized quantity surveyors dedicated to ensuring your bid is the most accurate in the room.
Our Core Service Pillars
Material Takeoffs
Our Material Takeoff service is the foundation of our offering. We meticulously review architectural blueprints, finish schedules, and addendums to quantify every single material required for your flooring project. We don't just calculate the gross area; we analyze the space to determine exact net square footage and apply precise, material-specific waste factors.
A proper takeoff goes far beyond the primary flooring material. We accurately count and measure:
- ✓ Transition strips, T-moldings, and reducers
- ✓ Adhesive buckets, thin-set mortar, and grout
- ✓ Underlayment, vapor barriers, and soundproofing
- ✓ Linear footage for rubber wall base (cove base)
Labor Cost Estimation
Material quantities are only half of the equation. Labor costs often represent the largest variable in a flooring contract, and miscalculating man-hours is the most common reason contractors lose money on a job. Our Labor Estimation service provides a highly detailed breakdown of the expected labor hours and costs based on your specific regional rates.
We factor in the specific complexities of the installation environment, including:
- ✓ Subfloor preparation (grinding, leveling, shotblasting)
- ✓ Existing floor removal and disposal logistics
- ✓ Complex pattern installations (herringbone, diagonals)
- ✓ Phased installation schedules and night/weekend differentials
Complete Bid Preparation
For clients looking for an end-to-end solution, our Complete Bid Preparation service delivers a finalized, ready-to-submit proposal package. We combine our precise material takeoffs and localized labor estimations with your company's overhead and profit margins to generate a highly competitive bid.
Our bid packages are designed to make you look like a highly polished, professional organization. Features include:
- ✓ Custom branding (White-labeled with your logo)
- ✓ Clear, itemized cost breakdowns (or lump sum options)
- ✓ Thorough inclusions, exclusions, and qualifications
- ✓ Color-coded visual markups for presentation to the client
Our Technology & Deliverables
Accuracy is largely dependent on the tools you use. Our estimators are highly trained and certified in the industry's leading digital takeoff and estimation software, including PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and MeasureSquare. This allows us to scale blueprints perfectly, trace intricate curves, and automate complex roll layout algorithms that humans simply cannot do manually.
When you partner with us, you don't just get a number in an email. You receive a comprehensive data package that your project managers and installers can rely on in the field.
Standard Deliverables Include:
- ■ Master EXCEL Spreadsheet with fully unlocked formulas
- ■ Color-coded PDF markups showing exactly where materials go
- ■ Seam layout diagrams for broadloom carpet and vinyl sheets
- ■ Discrepancy report detailing any architectural errors found
