30+ people, one job: numbers you can bid from.
CostBridge Estimating is a team of 30+ estimators, drafters, and reviewers, built over 7+ years around a simple idea: contractors shouldn't lose nights and weekends to takeoffs and drawings when they should be building. We've seen enough rushed estimates and missed line items to know exactly where they go wrong — so our process is built to catch that before it reaches your bid.
What we believe
- Accuracy matters more than speed — but you need both
- An estimate organized by CSI division is easier to bid from, not harder
- A missed line item costs more than the estimate did
- Contractors deserve a straight answer on turnaround, not a runaround
Not a one-person shop with a nice website
30+ people means your project isn't waiting on one specialist's schedule — estimating and drawing work happen in parallel, not in a queue.
Estimators who've bid the trades
Our estimating team works CSI division by division, cross-checking quantities against the plan set before anything reaches your inbox.
Drafters who build to be built from
Our drawing team works in AutoCAD and Revit as a daily discipline, not a skill bolted onto estimating as an afterthought.
A second set of eyes, every time
Every deliverable gets a review pass against the original drawings before it goes out — quantities, not just formatting.
7+ years of knowing where it breaks
Long enough to have seen most of the ways a takeoff goes wrong, and to build a process around catching it early.
