Fast & Accurate Construction Estimating Services
Bid-ready construction estimation, takeoff services, and engineering design support for contractors, developers, and suppliers across the United States.
Welcome to Digital Estimating®
Digital Estimating® is a professional construction estimating and engineering design firm helping contractors, developers, and suppliers win more bids with confidence. We deliver precise construction cost estimates, quantity takeoffs, and material takeoffs that support informed decision-making across public, residential, and commercial construction projects.
Custom Construction Estimating & Takeoff Services Built To Help You Win More Bids
From early design budgeting to final bid submission, we provide end-to-end construction estimating services tailored to your project scope, trade requirements, and bid schedule. Our team delivers accurate construction takeoffs, detailed cost breakdowns, and trade-specific estimates across every CSI division. We also provide estimating and engineering design services, including BIM, VDC, CAD drafting, and permit drawings, so contractors can source construction estimation and design documentation from a single team.
Why Contractors Outsource Estimating Services To Us?
Hiring a full-time estimator costs a contractor over $95,000 a year before software licences. Contractors outsource estimating services to Digital Estimating® to cut that overhead, bid more projects, and keep construction estimation accurate under tight deadlines. You get a full estimating and engineering design team on demand, without the payroll.

Confidential Bid Handling
Your drawings, scope, and pricing stay private. We never share bid documents or compete against our own clients.

Plan maintenance, upgrades, and capital improvements accurately
Facility and property managers depend on our estimating services for reliable cost data that supports maintenance planning, renovations, and capital improvement programs without surprises. We also produce the as-built drawings and scans many portfolios are missing.
HOW IT WORKS
A Clear, Reliable Estimating Process You Can Trust
Every project moves through the same four stages, whether you need a single trade takeoff or a full estimating and engineering design package. Send your drawings in PDF, DWG, or a plan room link and you get a bid-ready file back in 24 to 48 hours.
Project Review & Scope
We review your drawings, specifications, and bid documents, flag missing information, and confirm scope before any takeoff begins.
Quantity Takeoffs
Our estimators measure every material and assembly digitally in PlanSwift, Bluebeam, and Trimble, organised by CSI division.
Pricing & Validation
Quantities are priced with RSMeans and zip-code-based material rates, then checked by a second estimator before release.
Final Delivery
You receive a bid-ready estimate in Excel or PDF, in our template or yours, with line-item descriptions and marked-up plans.
