Construction Estimating Services in Maryland
We prepare quantity takeoffs, priced estimates and bid support for contractors bidding projects in Maryland. The work is done remotely from your drawings and specifications, and the deliverables are the same editable Excel workbook and marked-up PDF set we provide everywhere.
What We Need to Know for a Maryland Estimate
The takeoff itself is the same in any state. What changes is the pricing basis, so these three items are confirmed before we price a Maryland project.
Building code basis
Projects in Maryland are generally built to Maryland Building Performance Standards (MBPS based on IBC/IRC). Adopted editions and local amendments vary by jurisdiction, so tell us which edition your permit set is designed to; we estimate what the drawings and specifications show.
Labor basis
Tell us whether the job is open shop, union, or public work subject to prevailing wage. Public projects in Maryland may require state or federal (Davis-Bacon) wage determinations; if the bid documents include a wage determination, send it and we price labor from it.
Material pricing and tax
Material prices are adjusted to the project location. Sales tax treatment of construction materials differs between states and contract types, so the estimate shows tax as a separate line you can adjust. Supplier quotes you send replace our unit prices.
