Early cost insights to evaluate feasibility, plan budgets, and move projects forward with confidence.
Preliminary estimating gives you an early snapshot of project costs before full drawings or detailed specifications exist. It helps contractors, architects, and project owners evaluate feasibility, set initial budgets, and allocate resources without waiting for complete plans.
With WiseBid, every preliminary estimate comes with a structured quantity takeoff summary, early material and labor assessments, productivity considerations, and allowance-based forecasting. You also receive marked-up plans (where applicable), realistic waste and construction allowances, and a clean Excel/PDF estimate that’s ready to review or submit. If you need alternates, addenda updates, or clarifications, our team supports that as well.
We rely on industry-leading tools like PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, Trimble, Xactimate, and Quest Estimating and can use STACK, Autodesk Takeoff, AGTEK, ProEst, or Active Takeoff on request. Our scope covers complete early-stage takeoffs, cost modeling, BOQs, value engineering insights, budget development, vendor pricing coordination, change-order forecasting, and full support for GCs, subcontractors, developers, and architects.
