Before you send
A few useful answers.
Clear scope. Clear expectations. A practical next step.
What do I need to request a quote?
Share the project location, trade or scope, available plans and specifications, bid deadline and desired deliverables. If you are missing details, explain what you have so the team can discuss the next step.
How much does estimating cost?
Pricing depends on project size, trade count, drawing completeness, deadline and required deliverables. Request a project-specific quote before authorizing work. Sending this form does not order a paid estimate or commit you to a price.
Can you work with my bid deadline?
Include the deadline with your inquiry. Availability and delivery timing must be confirmed by the team after reviewing the project scope.
Which New York City areas do you serve?
Drexel Estimating LLC supports projects in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Staten Island. Ask the team about projects outside these areas.
