How Landscaping Estimates Help You Win Bids
Full Breakdown of Costs
We do not give you just some general number. We will detail all the project costs for you. This ranges from costing materials, labor, equipment, and other expenses. Every estimation that we made for you is particular to the project. It benefits the contractors in researching ways to cut down costs and offer a more appropriate price.
Competitive Pricing Advantage
Our estimates keep you in competition in the market. We make sure you never overestimate or underestimate your costs. Thus, you will be able to charge your clients fairly and not at the expense of losing margins. Detailed, accurate estimation keeps you ahead of the competition and ensures you get more bids. This way, you can make the costs clear and will price your projects better as well. You will never face surprises during a project.
Detailed Landscape Takeoff Services
Perhaps the most important aspect of landscaping estimation is takeoff. Takeoff refers to a comprehensive list of all materials, labor, and equipment necessary for the completion of a project. We utilize top technology as well as the best techniques so that we can measure precisely the quantity of everything necessary for your job.
We are very cautious about using a precise procedure for proper takeoffs. Our crew uses the latest software for all calculations. Moreover, our crew utilizes years of experience in landscaping to catch details that might change the cost. By doing so, we can ensure that every takeoff is reliable.
100% Accurate Softscape vs. Hardscape Cost Estimation
There are softscape and hardscape parts of landscaping projects, and both have different things that will affect the prices. We can provide actual estimates for the soft and hard parts of the projects.
Softscape Cost Estimate
Softscape refers to the live parts of landscaping, such as plants, trees, grass, and flowers. The following are things we consider when estimating the costs of softscapes:
- Species of Plants: Different species charge differently. We quote on the basis of plant species, size, and if it is mature.
- Number of Plants: We determine how many plants you will require for your project and how much each one will cost.
- Soil and Fertilizers: The soil and fertilizer quality may charge more or less. We include these factors.
- Irrigation Systems: If irrigation is required for your project, we quote on installing it.
Hardscape Cost Estimate
Hardscape refers to non-living parts such as patios, walkways, driveways, and retaining walls. The cost of a hardscape item is based on materials, labor, and complexity. The factors we estimate for hardscaping are as follows:
- Materials: We estimate the material costs of pavers, concrete, stone, and gravel.
- Labor: Hardscaping often requires special skills, so we calculate labor costs based on the complexity of the job.
- Tools and Equipment: There are times when some hardscape projects need specialized equipment or tools. We charge based on renting or using equipment.
- Design Complexity: It is costly when complicated designs are the ones. We add those added costs to the overall quote.
Comprehensive Landscaping Estimating Services
All materials to be used for landscaping purposes are taken care of in our material estimation service. Right from softscapes to hardscapes, all the reckonings are properly done.
Plants and Trees We Estimate
We also incorporate the transportation and planting costs plus the price of plants and trees into the estimate. This is because this knowledge equips the contractor to budget for those materials appropriately.
Pavers, Concrete, and Stone
For hardscaping features, such as a patio and walkways, we calculate the cost of materials for pavers, concrete, and stone, depending on the volume of material to be used for the project and the type chosen. For a small pathway or a large patio, we compute the costs accurately.
Labor Cost Estimation
Any landscaping project will be very labor-intensive. Estimation of labor cost takes into consideration the amount of work, the number of workers, and the length of time it will take to complete the job. Our estimation of labor cost involves the following:
- Hourly Rates: Labor cost is computed based on the standard rates per hour of different kinds of workers like landscapers, masons, and irrigation experts.
- Man Hours: We estimate the number of man hours that are required for the project and multiply it by the hour rate.
- Crew Size: This is the number of employees required for the job and is also a factor for cost. We estimate the right crew size based on the work needed.
