By element

Every pour measured on its own.

Footings, walls, slabs, columns and decks each carry different forming, reinforcement and finishing.

  • Footings, foundations, walls, columns, beams and slabs
  • Formwork by contact area, with reuse assumptions stated
  • Reinforcing steel by size and weight, with laps and accessories
  • Placement, pump or crane, and finishing by slab type
  • Embeds, anchor bolts, sleeves and blockouts
  • Testing, curing and special requirements from the specification

FAQ

Good questions.

Who uses this service?

Concrete subcontractors, general contractors preparing budgets, and developers checking structural concrete costs.

Do you include excavation and backfill?

Excavation and backfill are usually sitework. We state the boundary in each estimate and include them when the scope calls for it.

Can I get quantities only?

Yes. A quantity takeoff carries no unit costs. A priced estimate states the pricing basis: your rates, Hemingway pricing inputs for the project's ZIP code, or an applicable wage determination.

What should I send?

Structural drawings and details, architectural sections, geotechnical report if available, Division 03 specifications and addenda.
