We speak drawing. Fluently.

Construction document services for GCs, subs, and vendors: material takeoffs, estimates, shop drawings, plan review, and the submittal paperwork nobody has time for. Send plans. Get marks. Go build.

— reviewed by a human who reads drawings for a living. Every time.
A staff estimator costs $70,000–$100,000 a year, whether you bid two jobs a month or twenty. Use us per bid instead.

01 — what we do between the sheets
01

Takeoffs & estimatesplans in — marks out

Material quantities and labor hours pulled straight off your issued set, trade by trade. You get a marked-up PDF and a clean spreadsheet you can price from. Per-bid pricing — no monthly commitment, bid two jobs a month or twenty.

02

Shop drawingsdrafted & QC-checked

Dimensioned shop drawings from contract documents — details, elevations, embed and attachment layouts — delivered DWG + PDF. Every sheet runs a two-pass QC review before you see it. Package pricing, not sheet meters.

03

Blueprint consultationknow before you bid

Pre-bid plan review by people who read drawings for a living: discrepancies, missing details, conflicts, and the RFIs you'd otherwise discover in the field. Prioritized issue list with sheet references in 48 hours.

04

Submittal & vendor coordinationwe chase, you build

The paperwork nobody has time for: submittal log management, chasing vendors and manufacturers for cutsheets, product data, and O&Ms, tracking review status, resubmittals, closeout books. Your log moves; your crew stays on the tools.

05

Spec & vendor researchthe cheaper, equal option

Spec-matching and approved-equal research that saves real money: alternates and substitutions with quotes compared, lead times checked before you commit, vendor sources vetted. You get a one-page memo and a recommendation.

“Offshore services are cheap until a wrong takeoff costs you the job. We read it right the first time.”
— Jordan Newell, heynewell construction

Industry-native. We work from contract documents the way they're actually issued — specs, adds, and RFIs included — not from a cleaned-up PDF someone emailed overseas.

Machine-assisted, human-checked. Automated extraction catches what tired eyes miss; a person who reads drawings for a living signs off on every deliverable.

Vendors are our problem. Cutsheets, product data, O&Ms, lead times — chasing manufacturers is a service we sell, not a favor you beg for.
