Construction Estimating Services in Illinois A dedicated estimator for your Illinois bids.
Your own AI-enabled estimator, working your Illinois bids full-time on Central Time, in your software and your templates. Built for contractors bidding work across Chicago and its suburbs, Rockford, Peoria and Springfield who want to bid more without adding headcount.
Built for how Illinois contractors bid.
Every market has its own codes, wage rules and project mix. Your estimator prices Illinois work with those in mind, from mid-rise and high-rise, industrial and public work to the bids on your desk this week.
Priced to the code you build to
Illinois projects are built to the Chicago Building Code inside the city and locally adopted International Codes elsewhere. Your estimator reads the drawings and specs against it, so code-driven scope shows up in the quantities instead of in a change order.
Labor priced the right way
Public works in Illinois pay prevailing wages under the Illinois Prevailing Wage Act, with certified payroll filings. Federally funded work anywhere in the state also falls under Davis-Bacon wage rates.
