THE CHALLENGE

You manage the build. Let us handle the numbers.

General contracting is about managing risk. Missed scope in a single division can wipe out the profit margin for the entire project.

By outsourcing your estimation to Accord Estimates, you get an independent, data-driven baseline to protect your bottom line before the contract is signed.

Validate Subcontractor Quotes

Stop blindly trusting sub quotes. Use our objective takeoffs to negotiate better rates and catch exclusions in their fine print.

Bid Higher Volume

Scale your bidding capacity instantly. Never pass on a lucrative RFP just because your internal team is at capacity.

Prevent Costly Scope Gaps

Our dual-review process cross-references architectural, structural, and MEP plans to catch conflicts before you submit your number.

OUR CAPABILITIES

Comprehensive Cost Control

From the initial dirt work to the final coat of paint, we provide the data you need to build profitably.

Turn-Key CSI Estimates

We provide complete, line-item breakdowns spanning all 33 MasterFormat divisions. You receive a fully unlocked, editable Excel spreadsheet containing material quantities, localized labor rates, waste factors, and equipment costs tailored to your project's exact zip code.

Bid Leveling

We normalize quotes from multiple trades, exposing hidden exclusions and ensuring you are comparing apples-to-apples when selecting your subs.

Value Engineering

We analyze the architect's design to propose alternative, cost-effective materials and methods without sacrificing the integrity of the build.

Conceptual Budgeting

Only have 30% schematic drawings? We leverage historical data and square-foot models to generate highly accurate preliminary budgets.

Change Order Defense

We provide the detailed, line-item data you need to back up your change order requests and protect your margins when the scope changes mid-project.

YOUR VIRTUAL ESTIMATING DEPARTMENT

Seamless workflow integration.

We don't just throw a number over the fence. We operate as an extension of your pre-construction team.

1. Upload & Kickoff

Send us your plan room link or PDFs. We immediately assign a dedicated senior estimator to review the scope and provide a fixed-fee quote.

2. Collaboration (RFIs)

As we build the estimate, we actively communicate to clarify discrepancies in the plans, issuing RFIs just like an in-house estimator would.

3. Delivery & Review

You receive the editable Excel file and color-coded takeoff PDFs. We schedule a walkthrough call to explain every assumption and variance.
