MEP estimating services
Mechanical, electrical and plumbing estimates from MEP drawings: ductwork, piping, fixtures, conduit, wire, panels and devices.
Accurate numbers, ready for your bid
MEP work is detailed and equipment-heavy. We take off ductwork, piping, fixtures, conduit, wire and devices from the MEP drawings and equipment schedules.
Each system is priced separately so mechanical, electrical and plumbing subcontractors can bid their trade, or a GC can see the full picture.
What's included
- HVAC equipment, ductwork and diffusers
- Plumbing fixtures and piping by size
- Conduit, wire and cable
- Panels, switchgear and devices
- Lighting fixtures and controls
- Fire alarm and low-voltage systems
What you receive
- Excel estimate with quantities, unit costs and totals by CSI division
- Marked-up drawings showing where every quantity came from
- Scope notes listing inclusions, exclusions and assumptions
- Revisions if addenda or revised drawings are issued before your bid date
Who it's for
