Why BuildCost Exists
BuildCost provides pre-construction consulting, estimating, and drafting support for contractors and homeowners who need clarity before construction begins.
Founded by a working contractor, we act as your back office—handling budgets, quantities, and scope clarity—so projects start right, not confused.
Services
Professional pre-construction and estimating services designed to support real construction decisions.
Pre-Construction Consulting
Independent pre-construction guidance for homeowners and contractors. We review scope, budgets, and risk before a GC is hired so decisions are made with clarity, not pressure. This service functions as an insurance policy before committing to construction.
Construction Estimating & Takeoffs
Professional quantity takeoffs and cost estimates organized by trade. Used by contractors to price work accurately and by homeowners to understand real project costs and validate proposals.
Drafting & Documentation Support
Light drafting and plan clarification to support estimating and pre-construction planning. Focused on constructability and scope clarity—not architectural or design services.
