Construction in California is unique from any other in the United States. From the skyscrapers in Los Angeles to residential projects in San Diego, San Jose, and Sacramento, every project is awash with unique problems.

FAQs
What is it that makes California MEP estimating services different from those in other states?
California construction has stricter codes, higher wages, seismic rules, and Title 24 standards, making MEP estimating more complex and requiring local expertise.

We deal with all types of clients, ranging from small contractors working on local remodels to large developers handling massive commercial projects of millions of dollars. Our flexible approach enables us to adapt our services to the project’s size and complexity, making sure that all clients, large and small, have the same degree of precision.
What’s the fastest time to get estimates?
The ability to receive an estimate is contingent on the size of the project. Smaller tenant or residential improvement estimates are typically delivered within 3-5 business days; however, larger, more complicated projects could take as long as seven business days.
