Specialties Estimating
The small-line-item division that's easy to underprice — signage, partitions, and accessories that add up across a full building.
What We Take Off
- Toilet partitions and accessories
- Signage and wayfinding
- Fire extinguisher cabinets
- Lockers and storage
- Wall and corner guards
- Louvers and vents
Works from whatever plans you have
Traditional 2D CAD drawings and PDF plan sets, or 3D BIM models — specialties quantities are taken off directly from your source files, cross-checked against the model where one exists, and delivered in the same itemized format either way.
Need the drawings themselves, not just a takeoff from them? See Drawing & Engineering Services.
Where specialties estimates commonly go wrong
Individually these are small line items, but a full building's worth of signage, partitions, and accessories can add up to a meaningful share of the bid if priced from a rough allowance instead of a real count.
