Concrete Estimating Services

Concrete is the major construction element required to build all types of developmental projects. If you are working on a complex construction project, securing a new bid will be challenging in this inflationary period. “Accuracy” is the only factor that is not negotiable at any cost. Otherwise, flawed calculations and quantities will end up in a big failure. That is why Universe Estimating offers detail-oriented Concrete Estimating Services to all AEC experts.

One of the most important factors is cubic yardage precision, which should match the project’s requirements. Plus, if your project demands distinct dimensions of concrete pathways, then you may require cast-in-place concrete. After that, the contractors need to evaluate structural walls, beams, and columns etc. Can you evaluate them without causing any mistakes? No! Especially when prices of materials are fluctuating! So, outsource concrete material takeoff to our qualified and experienced construction cost estimator and complete your projects under budget and timelines!

Division 03 Concrete Estimates for all types!

In our Division 03 concrete estimates, our engineers cover all important parameters such as PSI strength of concrete, grade, and number of steel rebars, type of expansion joints, and relevant thicknesses of concrete slabs. Plus, our portfolio includes the evaluation of all types of concrete, whether it is ready-mix concrete, precast, or more!

However, do not fret about the local building codes and standards because our estimators are trained and certified by credible US organizations such as the American Society of Professional Estimators (ASPE), the Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering (AACE), and the Project Management Institute (PMI).

However, you can contact us to get a precise cubic yardage calculation for all types:

Our Core Concrete Estimating Services!

Foundation & Structural Concrete Estimating

Foundation systems always require precise analysis of soil conditions, structural loads, and construction methodologies. However, our concrete estimation covers all aspects of below-grade construction.

Plus, our structural estimators analyze beam and column schedules, reinforcement steel grades, and other elements of formwork systems!  Outsource your needs to our professional digital takeoff services to get:

• Strip footings and isolated pad foundations
• Basement walls and retaining structures
• Pile caps and grade beam systems
• Slab-on-grade with vapor barriers
• Waterproofing and drainage systems
• Underpinning and foundation repair work

Concrete Mix Design & Specification Analysis

We make sure to have current knowledge about high-performance mixes, specialty admixtures, and sustainable concrete alternatives. This way, we provide value engineering solutions to our clients to complete the projects within budget! Generally, Standard concrete mixes range from basic 2500 PSI residential applications to high-strength 8000+ PSI structural elements. Our experts help contractors provide the expert cost implications of different strength levels. We consider:

• Compressive strength requirements (2500-8000+ PSI)
• Workability and slump specifications
• Durability factors for exposure conditions
• Early strength gain requirements
• Specialty performance characteristics

Formwork Systems & Construction Methods

Formwork requires huge labor to carry out tasks for concrete construction. Our contribution is crucial because we provide distinct formwork options, from traditional job-built systems to modern modular alternatives. It is based on your funds allocated for the project. If you want lumber formwork, then we provide customized hardware costs and labor efficiency factors. Hence, we consider:
