Detailed Residential Costings That Win More Work
We deliver competitive, line-by-line residential costings that help you bid faster and stay in control. One assigned estimator measures your plans, prices every trade, and hands back a report you edit, verify, and bid on the same day it arrives.
Residential Project Cost Estimator
A residential project estimates the prices your home builds as a clear bill of quantities with material take-offs. The report covers 3 cost categories labor, material, and equipment so you control scope, schedule, and cash flow from day one.
Home Building Cost Estimator
A home building cost estimate shows labor, plant, and material lines with every assumption and allowance listed. You answer client questions on the spot because each quantity traces back to a marked-up area on the drawing.
Our Residential Estimating Services
We cover 3 core residential service lines: new construction estimating, remodel and addition estimating, and residential material takeoffs. Each line follows the same measure-quantify-price-review workflow and forms part of our wider construction estimating services.
New Construction Estimating
New construction estimating prices of a home from foundation to final finish. The estimate quantifies 5 major trades, concrete, framing, roofing, drywall, and finishes, and consolidates them into one priced report for single-family homes, custom builds, and multi-apartment blocks.
Remodel & Addition Estimating
Remodel and addition estimating prices for renovations, extensions, attic conversions, and tenant improvements. The estimate isolates only the affected trades, which keeps the budget tight and the scope clear for both contractor and homeowner.
Residential Material Takeoff Services
A residential material takeoff lists exact quantities by unit for every material on the plan. Suppliers like Home Depot, Lowe's, and 84 Lumber quote directly against the schedule, which removes over-ordering and site waste. See real estimation examples of marked-up plans and Excel pricing sheets.
Your Own In-House Residential Estimator
24/7 Estimation works as an extension of your team without adding to your payroll. Estimating in-house eats hours you spend on site; outsourcing blind loses control over what’s included. We fix both, upload your plans, and one dedicated estimator prices them fast, accurately, and in full detail. Established in 2001, the company carries 30+ years of building and construction experience across design, construction, and project management.
How Residential Estimating Works

For the estimating fee within 24 hours, based on the scope and complexity of the drawings.

What You Receive
Every residential estimate includes 5 core deliverables:
- Detailed cost breakdown prices labor, material, and equipment for each CSI division.
- Material breakdown quantifies every item from the drawings, including concrete, lumber, drywall, and roofing.
- The material order schedule lists quantities by unit, so suppliers quote against it directly.
- Color-coded marked-up plans let you verify the takeoff visually in minutes.
- An editable Excel report lets you adjust rates, margins, and allowances on the spot.
Stay in Control of Every Estimate
We give you full oversight of every quote through 5 working practices that protect accuracy and margin:
Receive a Adjustable Rates
You tweak labor, plant, and material rates inside the report, which keeps each estimate aligned with your real costs.
One Estimator Per Quote
We assign one estimator per project and raise every query with you directly, which removes assumptions and conflicting figures.
Job-Specific Pricing
We price from multiple merchants using zip-code-specific RSMeans data, so each estimate reflects current local rates rather than outdated figures from past jobs.
Faster Turnaround
We deliver completed estimates in 2 to 4 business days and offer an expedited service for tight bid deadlines.
Protected Margins
We lock in your profit margins across labor, material, and plant, which gives you the confidence to take on more projects.
How We Protect Your Estimate Quality
24/7 Estimation follows a fixed quality standard on every residential job. One estimator owns the project from start to finish, raises queries with you before pricing, and pulls rates from multiple merchants rather than a single supplier. We never rush a takeoff, never split a quote across estimators, and never let a deadline slip, which keeps each estimate accurate, traceable, and on time.
