22 years, building envelope and finishes

I've worked commercial and multi-family estimating for 22 years, focused on the trades most generalist estimators run thin on — waterproofing, roofing, insulation, stucco/EIFS, masonry, stone veneer, and glass and glazing — plus structural steel and the high-demand finishes: framing/drywall, doors, and flooring.

I work solo, sole proprietor, based in Fort Worth, Texas. No subcontracted measuring, no offshore team — every takeoff is mine.

Send your plans
