Takeoff and Estimating Services for Remodelers and Small Contractors
Plan to Price Estimating provides remote construction takeoffs and estimating support for remodelers, small contractors, and trade specialists across the United States.
We prepare material quantities, construction cost estimates, and bid-ready packages. Our bid-ready packages include a customer proposal under your business name, with internal estimating costs kept separate. No drawings? We can also work from contractor-supplied measurements, photos, and scope notes.
Support is available in English and Spanish.

| Service | Starting price | What’s included |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity Takeoff | $150 | Material quantities for a clearly defined trade, with units and stated waste factors, delivered in Excel and PDF. |
| Construction Estimate | $200 | A takeoff plus material and labor costs, with allowances, assumptions, and exclusions. |
| Bid-Ready Package | $250 | A takeoff, construction estimate, and customer proposal under your business name. Internal costs are provided separately. |
| Measurements-to-Proposal | $80 | A limited package for one trade in one small room, using complete contractor-supplied measurements, photos, and work notes. Includes quantities, an internal estimate, and a customer proposal for that specific scope. |
| Contractor Support | $100 | Help with an agreed task, such as change-order pricing, scope writing, bid comparisons, material lists, proposal preparation, or estimate review. |
| Monthly Estimating Support | $350/month | Recurring estimating assistance, with the included workload, deliverables, and schedule defined in your written quote. |
Starting prices apply to small, clearly defined scopes with complete project information. The $80 Measurements-to-Proposal service is a narrowly scoped option—not a complete bathroom or kitchen renovation estimate. Full-room renovations, multiple trades, larger plan sets, and complex projects receive a custom quote.
Before you approve or pay, you receive a written quote confirming the final fee, included work, deliverables, payment terms, delivery date, and revision allowance.
Built for contractors who handle their own bids
Our services are for remodelers, kitchen and bath contractors, and trade specialists who need estimating support without hiring a full-time estimator.
We can help with a single trade, a defined renovation scope, or recurring bid preparation. Whole-home renovations and commercial projects are quoted individually.
How it works
- Send your project information. Share plans or measurements and photos, along with the work to include, exclusions, project location, and bid deadline.
- Review your written quote. Confirm the scope, deliverables, fee, payment terms, delivery date, and included revisions.
- Approve and get started. Work begins after the agreed initial payment and all required project information are received.
- Review your deliverables. Check the quantities, assumptions, and pricing. Request revisions within the allowance and review period stated in your quote. For packages with a customer proposal, approve your selling price before sharing it.

Can I outsource estimating with only measurements and photos?
Yes. Send room dimensions, relevant heights and openings, photos, and a description of the work. We review the information and identify anything else needed before starting.
Measurements-to-Proposal starts at $80 for one trade in one small room. Complete bathroom and kitchen renovations, or projects involving multiple trades, receive a custom quote. Quantities depend on the accuracy and completeness of the information you provide.
How much does a construction takeoff cost?
Quantity takeoffs start at $150 for a small, clearly defined single-trade scope. The final fee depends on the project’s size, complexity, and required detail. You receive a written quote before approving or paying.
What is the difference between a takeoff, an estimate, and a bid-ready package?
A takeoff lists material quantities. A construction estimate adds material and labor costs, along with allowances, assumptions, and exclusions. A bid-ready package also includes a customer proposal under your business name, with your approved selling price and scope.
Will my customer see my internal costs?
The internal estimate and customer proposal are separate documents. The customer proposal shows your approved selling price without exposing the internal cost breakdown. You choose which documents to share.
Do you offer support in Spanish?
Yes. We communicate in English and Spanish. Tell us your preferred communication and document languages when requesting a quote so the agreed deliverables reflect your needs.
How quickly can I receive my estimate?
Turnaround of 24 hours or less is available for small, clearly defined scopes. The clock starts once your quote is approved, the agreed initial payment is received, and all required information is complete. Larger projects receive a delivery date in the written quote.
Do you work with contractors outside New Jersey?
Yes. Our service is remote and available to contractors across the United States. Include the project location when requesting an estimate.
Do you provide architectural drawings, engineering, or permit design?
No. Plan to Price Estimating provides takeoff, estimating, and proposal support. Architectural, engineering, and permit-design services are not included.
