AAA Estimating provides top notch blueprint estimating services. It is the first step in any successful construction project. It measures and prices everything shown on your plans. We take your architectural plans and construction drawings and extract every single detail. Our blueprint estimators provide a complete material takeoff and a detailed cost estimate. This gives you the numbers to bid with confidence and maximize your profit margin.

We perform a detailed quantity takeoff from your plans. We count every door, window and fixture. We measure every length of pipe, wire and lumber. This creates a complete bill of materials. Then, we calculate the current costs for labour and materials. The result is a reliable construction estimate you can trust. We help builders with all issues they face in their estimating business, like:

  • Are you worried about underbidding or overbidding and losing the job?
  • Is your current process a headache, a mix of scale rulers, spreadsheets and hope?
  • Are you spending nights and weekends calculating numbers instead of focusing on other business work?
