Your trade.
Your scope. Clearly measured.
Trade-specific estimating and quantity takeoff support for specialty subcontractors pursuing commercial work across the United States.
SUBCONTRACTOR SUPPORT
Stay focused on production, field operations and customer relationships.
Specialty contractors often receive invitations while existing projects and field responsibilities continue. A detailed takeoff may be necessary, but dedicating internal time to every drawing set can limit how many opportunities the company evaluates.
Ace Constructor provides added estimating capacity for a defined trade scope. We review the applicable documents, measure the work, apply the agreed pricing basis and deliver files for the subcontractor’s final review.
Define the trade boundary
Confirm the requested work, related divisions, inclusions, exclusions and any known responsibility gaps.
Measure relevant work
Quantities are taken from the applicable drawings and organized for trade-specific review.
Apply agreed rates
Contractor labor and supplier rates can be used, or a regional pricing basis may be agreed where appropriate.
Review before quoting
The subcontractor reviews the quantities, assumptions, exclusions and pricing before submitting a proposal.
TRADE ESTIMATE OUTPUT
Built for review, adjustment and final subcontractor judgment.
The deliverable should help your team decide what to carry, where to adjust rates and which scope questions require clarification.
Quantity workbook
Measured items arranged by the agreed trade structure.
Labor and material
Separated cost components where requested and appropriate.
Drawing markups
Measurement references supporting internal review.
Scope qualifications
Assumptions and exclusions stated for contractor evaluation.
TRADE COVERAGE
Coverage is confirmed against the actual project.
Potential scopes include the trades below, but no service is promoted as guaranteed until the plans and requirements are reviewed.
PRICING THAT FITS YOUR BUSINESS
Supplier and labor rates can reflect the way your company actually bids.
Specialty subcontractors may provide current supplier quotes, wage rates, crew production assumptions, material pricing or internal markups where relevant to the agreed estimate.
If local inputs are unavailable, a regional cost basis can be discussed. Any pricing source and major assumption should be reviewed before the bid is submitted.
SUBCONTRACTOR FAQ
Before we measure your trade.
Can you estimate only my trade?
Yes. The service can focus on a clearly defined specialty scope after reviewing the documents and responsibility boundaries.
Can you use my supplier pricing?
Yes, when current pricing is provided and its intended application is clear.
Will you include exclusions?
Known assumptions and excluded items can be documented as part of the agreed deliverable for your review.
Can you help with a short deadline?
Possibly. Typical standard-project turnaround may be 24–48 hours, but timing is confirmed only after reviewing complexity and workload.

Send the plans, specifications, your trade scope, project location and bid deadline for review.
