Construction estimating services in Herriman, UT

Pricing depends on the number of sheets, the trades you want covered and the level of detail. We quote from the plan set before starting, so you know the number up front. Most projects turn around in 24 to 48 hours, and rush service is available when a bid date is close. Send the plans through our get an estimate page and we will confirm scope, format and delivery time before any work begins.

The figures come from the U.S. Census Bureau Building Permits Survey for 2025, which counts permits issued by the city itself for new privately-owned residential units only. Herriman issued 621 units that year, up from 441 in 2024, with 401 single-family and 220 multifamily units. That is 5.3 percent of the covered Utah total and a rank of 6 of 25 among the cities we track. The survey does not include commercial permits or remodels.

It helps. The soils report tells us the over-excavation depth, the allowable bearing pressure and whether a structural fill is required, and those three items change the excavation and concrete quantities. If the report is not available yet, we estimate from the plan's assumed bearing pressure and flag the over-excavation as an allowance. You can then adjust the number when the report is issued, rather than discovering the cost after the bid.

We price material and labor with ZIP-code-adjusted data, so the Herriman estimate reflects the local market rather than a national average. Sales tax treatment depends on whether you are buying material directly or through a subcontractor, and on the tax exemption status of the project. We do not guess at tax treatment; we show material and labor separately so your accounting team can apply the correct rate at the point of purchase.

Yes. Multifamily takeoffs are count-driven, so we build a unit matrix first and then extend it across the building. That means fixtures, devices, registers, doors, windows and cabinets are counted per unit type, not per square foot. Common areas, corridors, stairs, elevators and the parking structure are taken off separately. Our multi-family estimating service returns quantities by building and by floor so your subs can price their own scope from the same sheet.

A takeoff is the measured quantity of each line item: cubic yards of concrete, linear feet of wall, square feet of shingles. An estimate applies unit costs and labor to those quantities to produce a dollar amount. We can deliver either, and most contractors start with the takeoff and apply their own pricing. If you want a budget number for a lender or an owner, ask for the priced estimate and tell us which cost basis you want to use.

Rock is a unit-price item, not a lump sum. We measure the trench and footing excavation volumes normally, then list rock excavation as a separate line with a quantity based on the geotechnical report's rock elevation. If the report does not identify a rock layer, we carry a bid allowance and note the assumption on the takeoff. That way the contractor can convert the allowance to a unit price in the proposal instead of absorbing the risk.

Yes. Our deliverables include a marked-up plan set so you can see exactly which sheets and which dimensions produced each quantity. The takeoff itself is organized by CSI MasterFormat division in Excel and PDF. That combination lets a project manager or a subcontractor trace a number back to the drawing without calling us. If you prefer a different division structure or a custom column layout, tell us at the start and we will match it.

We estimate projects across the Wasatch Front, including Draper, Riverton, Bountiful, Spanish Fork, Roy and Pleasant Grove. The soil and grading conditions change as you move north and south along the bench, so a takeoff for a Riverton lot is not automatically valid for a Herriman lot even when the plan is the same. If your project is in one of these cities, use the city page or send the plans and we will confirm coverage.

Send the architectural, structural, civil, mechanical, electrical and plumbing sheets as a single PDF, plus any specifications, the geotechnical report and the bid form if the owner provided one. Tell us which trades you want measured and which CSI divisions you want separated. If a sheet is missing, say so; we would rather flag the gap before we start than deliver a number that looks complete but is not.
