Our Flagship Service: General Contractor Estimates
Every successful construction project begins with a clear picture of costs. That’s where our general contractor estimates come in. We gather all the details—blueprints, material lists, labor rates, local codes—and turn them into a simple report you can use today.
At first, we review your drawings or plans and break them down into line items. We count every board of lumber, every square foot of drywall, every bag of cement. Next, we research current prices in your region—no guessing allowed. We factor in labor hours based on industry standards and local wage rates.
After that, we assemble all that data into an easy-to-read document. You get a clear total cost, plus subtotals for materials, labor, permits, and contingencies. Each figure links back to its source, so you know exactly where your money goes. That transparency helps you bid competitively and build without budget surprises.
Why Accurate Estimates Matter
When you know your project costs upfront, you avoid last-minute budget problems. A missing line item can turn a small project into a money pit. Accurate general contractor estimates protect your bottom line and your reputation.
First, precise numbers keep bids competitive. If your estimate is too high, you may lose the job. If it’s too low, you risk eating the cost increases yourself. Reliable estimates strike the right balance. They help you win more bids and still make a profit.
Second, clear cost breakdowns build trust. Clients and lenders want to see the math behind your price. A detailed estimate shows you did your homework and aren’t hiding surprises. That trust can lead to more repeat work and referrals.

When your bid is backed by solid numbers, clients notice. You appear organized, reliable, and professional. That credibility can be the difference between winning a contract or watching it go to a competitor.
Cost Analysis And Quantity Takeoff
Beyond simple totals, All Bids Estimates offers detailed cost analysis and quantity takeoff in all over the United States. These services help you see the full picture.
- Quantity Takeoff. We count every item—tons of rebar, sheets of plywood, linear feet of piping—so nothing slips through the cracks.
- Cost Analysis. We break down each category (materials, labor, permits) so you know which areas drive your budget.
Why Quantity Takeoff Matters
Accurate counts reduce waste and ordering errors. If you overorder materials, you tie up cash and face storage headaches. Underordering stalls your project. Our takeoff ensures you order just what you need.
Understanding Cost Drivers
Knowing which line items cost the most helps you negotiate better prices. If lumber is driving up your build cost, you can shop around or find alternative materials. A clear cost analysis lets you make informed choices.
