Whether you’re a metal fabricator, a mechanical contractor, or an engineering firm, having clear, detailed estimates is essential to win bids, control costs, and deliver projects on time. That’s where we come in.
At Precision Estimator, we help companies like yours take the guesswork out of quoting. Our industrial estimating services are designed to improve accuracy, save time, and boost profitability.
Why Accurate Estimating Matters
In this industry, margins can be tight, and small mistakes can turn into big losses. A solid estimate does more than just price a job—it guides planning, avoids surprises, and sets your team up for success.
Here’s why accurate estimating is so critical:
Competitive Bidding
A clear, professional estimate helps you bid with confidence and avoid overpricing or underbidding.
Better Project Planning
Good estimates help you schedule labor, order materials, and organize equipment more effectively.
Risk Reduction
Spot potential issues early and build in smart contingencies—before they become expensive problems.
What We Offer
At Precision Estimator, we don’t just crunch numbers. We bring real-world industry experience to every project. Our services are tailored specifically for fabrication and engineering firms and include:
✔️ Material Takeoffs
We calculate exact quantities for materials like structural steel, sheet metal, piping, or custom components—minimizing waste and excess ordering.
✔️ Labor Cost Estimating
We factor in realistic crew sizes, production rates, and local labor rates to give you a reliable labor breakdown.
✔️ Equipment & Subcontractor Costs
We estimate rental equipment, specialty tools, and third-party vendor pricing so you can see the full picture.
✔️ Project Timeline Estimating
We help estimate duration and key milestones based on scope, crew size, and material lead times.
