Our Mechanical Takeoffs & Estimates Cover
We fully measure and estimate the number of materials across specific CSI divisions through our mechanical estimating services. The given list below is a detailed list of the materials, their type, size, unit, and respective CSI divisions as per 2018 MasterFormat:
Plumbing & Drainage Estimates
We estimate plumbing systems, including pipes (copper, PEX, PVC), valves (ball, gate, check), and fixtures (sinks, toilets, faucets). Drainage services cover above-ground pipes (PVC, cast iron, HDPE) and cleanouts, ensuring accurate material and labour takeoffs.
Mechanical & Gas Pipework Takeoffs
Our team handles heating, chilled water, and gas piping estimates (steel, copper), ranging from ½” to 6″ in diameter. We factor in all pipe lengths, fittings, and connections to deliver precise costings.
Ventilation & Air Conditioning Estimates
We provide detailed estimates for ductwork (metal, flexible ducts) and dampers, along with HVAC systems, including AHUs, VRF systems, and DX units, customized by capacity and size.
Thermal Insulation & Trace Heating Estimates & Takeoffs
We calculate insulation needs (fiberglass, mineral wool, foam board) and trace heating cables, considering thickness and length for energy-efficient solutions.
Plant & Equipment Estimates
Our plant and equipment pricing covers boilers, pumps, and compressors, with detailed breakdowns of BTU/hr, GPM, and CFM capacities, ensuring accuracy for every project.
Subcontractors Packages
We liaise with BMS/control systems, dry risers, water misting, and underfloor heating subcontractors, integrating their designs into our estimates for seamless collaboration.
Design & Preliminary Costings
We offer design support with engineering drawings, material takeoffs, and labour estimates, helping clients plan and budget confidently from the start.

Carlos Mendez
Construction Manager, Austin, TX
“The mechanical estimates we received were spot-on, even with the supply chain delays last year. They caught errors in our initial design that saved us 12% on ductwork alone. I’ve never seen such thoroughness in this industry.”
Priya Patel
Project Lead, Chicago, IL
“As a general contractor, I’ve worked with a lot of estimators, but their team is next-level. They turned around a full plumbing and HVAC bid for a 50-unit condo in under a week. Their responsiveness kept our project on track.”
Sarah O’Connor
Fire Safety Consultant, New York, NY
“Their fire protection system estimate was so precise, our subcontractors had zero change orders, a first in my 20-year career. They know NYC building codes like the back of their hand.”
Clara R
Mechanical Contractor, Chicago
“Daniel’s team redesigned our bid strategy for a $6M museum retrofit. Their estimates included alternative material options that cut costs by 18% and won us the project.”
