Local detail

What moves a New Jersey number.

Public-work wage rates

Craft rates are set by the state, generally by county, and arrive with your contract documents. We price from them.

Dense sites

Limited staging, delivery windows, hoisting and working-hour limits are carried as visible lines or labeled allowances.

Existing buildings

Selective demolition, hazardous-material assumptions and phasing around occupants are stated up front.

Public work, priced right

Built for New Jersey's public and institutional bids.

A large share of New Jersey institutional work is public, so wage requirements shape the number.

  • Davis-Bacon and prevailing-wage estimating
  • Federal, HUD, LIHTC and affordable housing estimating requirements
  • Labor mapped to the classifications in your solicitation
  • Dense-site logistics and phasing

FAQ

New Jersey questions, answered.

Do you estimate prevailing-wage and Davis-Bacon work in New Jersey?

Yes. Federal and federally assisted projects carry Davis-Bacon wage determinations, and New Jersey public works carry state prevailing-wage requirements. We are experienced with both, plus HUD, LIHTC and affordable housing estimating requirements. Labor is priced from the determination or rate stated in your solicitation.

Sources checked October 27, 2026. Confirm the requirement stated in your solicitation.

How is pricing tailored to my New Jersey project?

Material and labor pricing is tailored to your project's ZIP code and current local market. Contractor-provided costs, labor rates and production assumptions can be used where agreed, and the estimate states its pricing basis.

Do you handle contractor registration?

Registration is the contractor's responsibility. We price the estimate and note where bid documents ask for it.

What do you need for a public bid?

The location, contracting agency, bid documents and addenda, and the wage determination if one applies.

Can you estimate occupied-building renovations?

Yes. We state the phasing, protection and after-hours assumptions behind the number, and what is excluded pending survey results.

Do you estimate residential and multifamily?

Yes. See the residential and multifamily pages for how allowances and owner-supplied items are handled.
