Marcus T.

Project Manager, Houston, TX

“We needed precise ductwork estimates for a 20-story office retrofit, and Daniel Estimating delivered. Their team caught design flaws in the original plans that would’ve cost us $12K in rework. Their labor hour breakdowns were spot-on – we finished the project 10 days ahead of schedule. Highly recommend!”

Frequently Asked Questions

We use best-in-class estimating software that connects to supplier databases to pull live material and labor costs. That way our estimates are current and never underbid or overbid.

For mixed use buildings or multi phase projects we break down estimates by zone, floor or system type (e.g. separate cost breakdowns for air handling units, chilled water systems, ductless split systems and exhaust ventilation). That way you can better manage your budget.

Yes, we adjust labor for site accessibility, system complexity, project size and installation challenges (e.g. tight spaces, rooftop installations or high rise buildings). So labor costs match the actual work conditions.

Yes! We help general contractors and mechanical contractors by reviewing and analyzing multiple HVAC subcontractor bids, so you can ensure accuracy, avoid hidden costs and get the best value for your project.

Yes, we can include vendor-specific pricing upon request or use RSMeans data for cost references. We also work with your preferred suppliers to ensure your material pricing is up-to-date.
