Outsource MEP Estimating Services To Backus Estimating

For contractors who are constantly occupied with their routine, outsourcing MEP estimating and takeoff services is the best course of action. Even if they accept responsibility for estimates, they are unable to manage the bidding process and create estimates properly. Contractors occasionally struggle with late bid submissions, and occasionally they run out of time, which results in them receiving less work overall and having the majority of their bids rejected. By doing this, they lose out on employment chances and ultimately incur significant financial losses.

The greatest MEP estimating company for contractors to outsource their material takeoff and building cost estimates is Backus Estimating. For a set monthly fee, contractors can receive accurate estimates from us in the shortest amount of time, along with lower overhead expenses.

OUR ESTIMATION PROCESS

First, at Backus Estimating, the process of estimating begins with the MEP specialist analyzing the design plans. This specialist has extensive experience in the past working with takeoffs related to mechanical (HVAC), ducting, air conditioning, refrigeration, electrical, low voltage equipment, and plumbing. Along with a few small general notes, the timetables, requirements, and specifics are taken into account.

Then, every drawing plan is uploaded into one of our approved programs, such as Trimble, Bluebeam, Plan Swift, FastWRAP, FastDUCT, FastPIPE, etc. After our certified and qualified estimator has removed all applicable quantities from the plans while taking into account all applicable standards and codes, the work is sent to a senior estimator who will ensure a thorough evaluation using marked-up drawings and takeoff sheets in Excel.

Every line item is described in detail, quantified, and kept in accordance with the intended use. A winning bid plan is developed, together with the necessary information, descriptions, and estimates for procurement and supply. After the estimation department has undergone peer review, estimates for residential, commercial, and industrial projects are given to clients.
