Construction Estimating Services in California A dedicated estimator for your California bids.

California construction estimating

Built for how California contractors bid.

Every market has its own codes, wage rules and project mix. Your estimator prices California work with those in mind, from podium and high-rise multifamily, healthcare, schools and heavy public work to the bids on your desk this week.

Codes

Priced to the code you build to

California projects are built to the California Building Standards Code (Title 24), including CALGreen and the Title 24 energy standards. Your estimator reads the drawings and specs against it, so code-driven scope shows up in the quantities instead of in a change order.

Public work & wages

Labor priced the right way

Public works in California carry state prevailing wages (Labor Code §1720 and following), with DIR contractor registration and electronic certified payroll. Federally funded work anywhere in the state also falls under Davis-Bacon wage rates.

Your time zone

On your clock, in your software

Your estimator works Pacific Time with your team in Los Angeles, the Bay Area, San Diego, Sacramento and the Inland Empire, in the estimating software, templates and cost data you already use.
