I’m in the planning phase of a new commercial development and must lock down a reliable cost picture before finalising financing. The job calls for a detailed, trade-by-trade estimate that breaks out materials, labour, and equipment so I can see exactly where every dollar will go and compare design options with confidence. You’ll be working from the current set of PDF drawings and the outline specs. Quantity take-offs should be traceable and, wherever possible, cross-checked against RSMeans (or a similar database) to keep pricing defensible. PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, CostX, Excel—use whatever professional tools you’re comfortable with, as long as the source files remain editable. Deliverables • An itemised spreadsheet showing unit costs, quantities, and total costs for materials, labour, and equipment • A summary sheet grouped by CSI division and by trade for executive review • A short memorandum listing assumptions, clarifications, and exclusions, plus the data sources used • PDFs matching the spreadsheets for quick reference I’ll review for completeness, logical pricing, and internal consistency; payment is released once those boxes are ticked. If clarifications are needed, I’m ready to respond quickly so we can keep momentum.

Hi there, You are in the planning phase of a new commercial development and need a detailed, trade‑by‑trade estimate—materials, labour, equipment—before finalising financing. If quantities are not traceable or pricing isn't defensible, your cost picture falls apart and lenders hesitate. You need a reliable estimate that lets you compare design options with confidence. I deliver itemised, traceable cost estimates with CSI division summaries. Here is how we work: After you share the PDF drawings and outline specs, I perform quantity take‑offs using PlanSwift or Bluebeam, cross‑checking against RSMeans or a similar database to keep pricing defensible. Then I build an itemised spreadsheet showing unit costs, quantities, and total costs for materials, labour, and equipment. Next, I group the estimate by CSI division and by trade into a summary sheet for executive review. Finally, I deliver the editable source files (Excel or CostX), a short memorandum listing assumptions, clarifications, exclusions, and data sources used, plus matching PDFs for quick reference. Timeline: 5 days. Fixed price: $2000 AUD. Ready when you are. Best, Eng. Sibora
