Professional Construction Estimates
A Clear Cost construction estimate accounts for every dollar a project will absorb — labour, materials, equipment, subcontractor pricing, general conditions and overhead — priced at rates current for the market you are building in. We quantify from your drawings first, then apply crew rates and productivity factors specific to your county rather than the national averages that rarely survive contact with a real jobsite. Overhead, profit and general conditions are carried as visible line items instead of being buried inside unit rates, so you can see precisely where your margin sits and adjust it deliberately. Estimates arrive as an editable Excel workbook organised by CSI division with matching colour-coded markups. Whether you are pricing a bathroom renovation or a multi-storey commercial build, the structure and the depth of detail stay the same.
Key Benefits
Materials at Live Pricing
Quantities priced against current regional supplier data rather than last year's figures, which matters when material costs move as quickly as they have recently.
Nothing Hidden in the Rates
Equipment, general conditions, overhead and profit are all shown as separate lines, so you always know exactly what you are carrying and what you can move.

Construction Estimates — FAQs
What does a completed estimate actually include?
An editable Excel workbook broken out by CSI division, colour-coded PDF markups, waste factors and labour units, a written summary of assumptions and exclusions, and a walkthrough call to talk through the numbers.
How accurate are your estimates?
We run at a 99% accuracy rate measured against final project costs across more than 2,500 completed jobs. Every estimate is reviewed by a second senior estimator before it reaches you.
Will you list what has been excluded?
Always. Every estimate carries a written assumptions and exclusions page, because the items left out of a bid cause more disputes than the ones included.
