Deep Dive
Commercial Construction Estimating for Every Building Type
From a single-tenant retail buildout to a multi-story office tower, commercial construction carries cost drivers residential projects simply don't have — code-heavy MEP systems, ADA compliance, energy code requirements, and tenant-specific build-out standards. Our commercial construction estimating and documentation services are built around those realities, not adapted from a residential template.
We support general contractors, developers, franchise owners, and property investors across office, retail, hospitality, and mixed-use commercial projects, whether you need a standalone cost estimate to bid a job or a full estimating-to-permit documentation package.
Commercial projects rarely need just one service. Pair your estimate with our Architectural Services team for shop drawings and permit sets, our Structural Engineering & MEP Design team for PE-sealed documentation, and our Project Management team for a CPM schedule that carries your budget into construction.

FAQ
What types of commercial projects do you provide estimating and documentation for?
We support office buildings, retail stores and plazas, hotels, restaurants, and mixed-use commercial developments, covering new construction, renovations, and tenant build-outs.
Do you provide architectural drawings and permit sets, or only cost estimates?
Both. Commercial clients can request a standalone cost estimate or a full documentation package including architectural drawings, shop drawings, and a code-compliant permit set.
How is commercial estimating different from residential estimating?
Commercial estimating accounts for code requirements, MEP systems, and compliance standards — ADA accessibility, energy codes, fire and life safety systems — that go well beyond what a typical residential estimate needs to cover.
