Our material pricing is sourced from reputable online retailers like Home Depot and Lowe's, supplemented by standardized pricing from RSMeans which gives us rates based on project’s zip code. Labor rates are derived from the official sam.gov data for the specific area, with total labor costs calculated using unit labor hours multiplied by quantities and hourly rates. For unique items, we obtain quotes directly from local suppliers to ensure accurate pricing.

Our fee depends on the scope and size of the project. This is why we ask that you send us your plans so that we can give you the exact fee for your project. We will review your plans and get back to you with our proposal for an exact fee and our turnaround time. When sending the plans, please do mention whether you would be bidding the whole project as a G.C. or as selected trades so that we can review and provide you with our proposal of fee and ETA accordingly.

We use stripe for processing payments in a secure way.

We use Planswift and Bluebeam for takeoffs

We always strive to provide our clients with the best value for their money. If you aren’t satisfied with our services, we can provide a complete refund.

We charge you on each project individually; there are no monthly or fixed costs for a subscription that would affect your payroll taxes, no downtime cost during slow cycles, no medical and retirement contributions, no sick or vacation payments. If you consolidate these factors, it saves you a lot of money over time without having to compromise on the quality of work, and it provides faster turnaround times in comparison to in-house staff.
