How much does it cost?

Every project is unique, so we ask clients to share their plans or an FTP link for review. Pricing depends on the size and complexity of the project. As a general guideline, smaller projects typically range from $200–$500, mid-sized projects from $500–$800, and larger projects $1,000 or more. Please note these figures are estimates only and final pricing is provided after project review.

We do not charge by the hour. Our pricing is structured on a per-project or monthly basis, making us an ideal solution for busy contractors who need on-demand estimating support. Since most contractors bid on only a few projects each month, our services are often more cost-effective than hiring a full-time in-house estimator.

Absolutely! Email us at estimates@basebidestimators.com to request examples of our past estimates. You can ask for samples across a variety of trades and project types, including developers, general contractors, subcontractors, architects, residential projects, electrical, drywall and framing, painting, and more.

Our engineers typically complete projects within 2–5 business days. For larger or more complex jobs, we check with clients about project deadlines. If a rush is required, we can assign a dedicated team of engineers to expedite the work for a small additional fee. We always strive to deliver estimates a day or two before the bid date to give you ample time for review.

As a blueprint-based estimating company, most of our projects rely on drawings and specifications. However, with years of experience, we can also provide assumption-based estimates for certain projects, such as bathroom or kitchen remodels and additions, when detailed plans are not available.

 
 

By combining advanced technology with the expertise of our estimators, we deliver highly accurate and competitive estimates. Our material takeoffs are typically 99% accurate, and we never compromise on the quality of our work.

You can send your project documents directly via email to info@basebidestimators.com, forward your invitation to bid to the same address, or share them using a Google Drive or Dropbox link.

We charge in two installments: 50% upfront at the start of the project and the remaining 50% before delivery. Payments are accepted securely via Stripe.

No. We deliver fully completed project files at the approved proposal cost. No extra fees are applied for updates, changes, or addendums—everything is included in the quoted price.
