How We Carry Out Your MEP Estimates

At Daniel Estimating, our construction cost estimating process starts with an initial consultation where we review project plans, bid packages, and MEP requirements. We conduct a detailed quantity takeoff using advanced estimation software, calculating materials for HVAC systems, plumbing fixtures, electrical wiring, and fire protection systems.

Our cost analysis considers current market prices from trusted suppliers and accurate labor cost estimates based on historical data. Using parametric and bottom-up estimating techniques, we cross-check estimates with industry benchmarks to ensure precision. Once finalized, we prepare a comprehensive proposal outlining material, labor, and overhead costs. We then collaborate with clients, reviewing the estimates and making adjustments as needed to address any scope changes or concerns.

Daniel’s team handled the MEP estimates for a $4M office complex. Their takeoffs for HVAC ducts and electrical conduits were 100% accurate, we undercut competitors by 12% and landed the job. Since outsourcing, our bid success rate doubled. 100% recommend!”

Seattle, Electrical Subcontractor

“Their estimators spotted missing GFCI outlets and undersized conduits in our plans before we bid. Fixed it, avoided fines, and won the project. Their attention to detail is next-level. We’ve used them for 15+ projects now!”
