Why contractors across the country hand their takeoffs to our team.
You deal with the same estimator on every job, by phone or email, so questions get answered without a ticket queue.
Your plans, pricing and client list stay private. We sign your NDA if you have one.
Pricing is adjusted to the project's location, not a national average, so it holds up against local sub bids.
When the architect issues an addendum before bid day, we update the takeoff so you never submit stale numbers.
You get a delivery date before we start. Rush turnaround is available when a bid closes tomorrow.
Civil, structural, architectural and MEP estimators work together, so scopes don't overlap or fall through the gaps.
How construction teams use Bidnora Engineering to bid more work with the people they already have.
Most estimates are delivered in 24 to 72 hours, depending on the size of the plan set and the number of trades. If your bid closes sooner, ask for rush turnaround when you request a quote.
