Our Trades
Interior & Exterior Finishes Estimating
At TrueScale Estimating & Design, we understand how much finish-out work can affect a project's bottom line. Whether it's painting, drywall, stucco, plaster, or specialty coatings, our estimating services give contractors realistic, credible pricing that supports stronger bids and fewer surprises for clients. We focus on accuracy and attention to detail to make sure your finish estimates hold up from first bid to final walkthrough. Outsourcing this scope to our team means you save on in-house estimating costs while still getting precise, dependable numbers. ShareContent
Electrical Estimating Services
Our electrical estimating services and electrical estimating company expertise give contractors clear, accurate numbers across every system — outlets, lighting, fire alarm, and low-voltage scopes. We break down conduit routing, fixture counts, and load calculations in detail, so your bid reflects the real cost of the work.
Concrete Estimating Services
Our concrete estimating services and concrete takeoff services cover foundations, footings, slabs, formwork, and rebar, so your material orders and labor pricing reflect the true scope of the pour. Our estimators account for site conditions and finishing requirements that often get missed in rough takeoffs.
Masonry Estimating Services
Our masonry estimating services cover brickwork, block construction, and stone veneer with the level of detail this trade demands — clear material quantities and labor costs that help you avoid the pricing mistakes that erode margin on masonry-heavy projects.
Openings Estimating (Doors, Windows & Frames)
Precise takeoffs for doors, window frames, and hardware across aluminum, vinyl, fiberglass, wood, and metal options, including installation labor and material pricing for a complete bid-day picture.
Sitework & Earthwork Estimating Services
Our sitework estimating services and earthwork estimating services cover grading, excavation, and underground utility scopes with the precision civil and site contractors need — quantities broken down clearly by phase, factoring in soil conditions and access risk.
Thermal and Moisture Protection Estimating Services
Insulation, waterproofing, roofing, and firestopping are easy scopes to underprice — and costly ones to get wrong. Our thermal and moisture protection estimates break these systems down in detail, helping you bid accurately on work that directly affects a building's long-term performance. We account for material specifications and installation requirements that often get glossed over in rushed estimates. With TrueScale handling this scope, you protect your margin on a trade that's frequently overlooked until it becomes a problem.
Lumber & Framing Takeoffs
We deliver precise lumber takeoffs for framing, trusses, and rough carpentry on residential and light commercial projects. Our estimates break down quantities by member type and size, helping builders order the right materials the first time instead of dealing with costly shortages or waste mid-build. We stay current on lumber pricing trends so your estimate reflects real market conditions, not outdated averages. TrueScale's lumber takeoffs give framing crews and GCs a dependable starting point for material ordering and labor planning alike.
Mechanical (HVAC) Estimating
Our mechanical estimating services cover ductwork, equipment, piping, and controls for residential, commercial, and industrial HVAC systems. We break down material and labor costs clearly by system, so mechanical contractors can bid fast without sacrificing accuracy. Our estimators stay current on equipment pricing and installation requirements that often shift project costs in ways generic estimates miss. With TrueScale handling your HVAC scope, you get numbers that hold up from bid day through final installation.
Landscaping Estimating Services
Our landscaping and hardscape estimates cover planting schedules, irrigation, retaining walls, pavers, and site amenities. Whether it's a commercial site package or residential scope, we quantify materials and labor so your bid holds up against the competition.
Telecom & Low-Voltage Estimating Services
We estimate structured cabling, data/voice systems, security and access control, and other low-voltage scopes separately from standard electrical work — because they price and bid differently. You get a clean, standalone takeoff that matches how telecom subs actually scope jobs.
Drywall Takeoff Services
Our drywall takeoffs quantify board footage, framing, insulation backing, and finish levels room by room. We account for waste factors and layout complexity so drywall subs can bid tight without leaving money on the table.
Plumbing Estimating Services
Our plumbing estimates give you accurate material and labor costs for both residential and commercial scopes — from rough-in piping and fixtures to water heaters, drainage systems, and fire line tie-ins. We break down every fitting, valve, and linear foot of pipe so your bid reflects the real job, not a rough guess.
Steel & Metals Estimating Services
We provide detailed takeoffs for structural steel, miscellaneous metals, and steel framing — including beams, columns, connections, and decking. Our estimates account for tonnage, fabrication complexity, and erection labor so steel subs can bid competitively without underpricing scope.
Millwork Estimating Services
From custom cabinetry to trim, casework, and architectural woodwork, our millwork estimates capture every linear foot and finish detail called out in your drawings. We help finish carpentry subs price complex custom work with confidence instead of padding bids to cover uncertainty.

Do you Any Have Question Please?
Have Questions? We Have Answers
How long does it take to receive an estimate?
Most residential and commercial estimates are delivered within 12–24 hours, depending on project size and complexity.
Do you provide free project quotes?
Yes — send us your plans and scope of work, and we’ll provide a free, no-obligation price quote before you commit.
What construction estimating services do you provide?
We provide cost estimating, material takeoffs, bid preparation support, and design/constructability review for residential, commercial, and industrial projects.
What file formats do you accept for plans?
We accept PDF, CAD, and most common drawing formats. Estimates are delivered in Excel or PDF, in your template or ours.
Do you work with subcontractors as well as general contractors?
Yes — we work with GCs, subcontractors, developers, architects, and individual trade contractors.
What's the difference between a takeoff and a full estimate?
A takeoff is a list of material quantities only (e.g., square footage of drywall, linear feet of framing). A full estimate adds pricing on top of that — material costs, labor, and equipment — so you have a total cost ready for bidding.
