Estimator discussing plans with a client

FAQs

Answers Before You Send Your Plans.

These answers explain how to prepare a request, what Falconize reviews, and how estimating deliverables can support your team.

01What information should I send for an estimate?

Send the available drawings, specifications, addenda, requested service, project type, and timing. Falconize will use that information to review scope and determine the appropriate next step.

02Which project types can Falconize support?

Falconize supports residential, commercial, and industrial scopes. Share the drawings and the decision you are trying to make, and we can define the appropriate estimating scope.

03Which trades can you estimate?

Takeoffs and estimates can cover the trades in your scope — concrete and masonry, steel, carpentry and drywall, roofing, openings, finishes, HVAC, plumbing and fire protection, electrical, and sitework — organized by CSI MasterFormat division so your team can price and compare them easily.

04What is included in a quantity takeoff?

A quantity takeoff translates drawings into organized counts, lengths, areas, and volumes. You receive measured quantities relevant to the requested trades, organized takeoff information, and notes on scope interpretation in a format your team can review and price.

05How are assumptions and exclusions handled?

Assumptions, inclusions, and exclusions should stay visible so your team can review how the scope was interpreted and ask focused questions before using the information.

06Who uses Falconize estimating services?

Falconize supports contractors, builders, subcontractors, developers, and project teams that need additional estimating capacity or a focused second review.

07How does the estimating process begin?

Every request begins with the project information available and the decision your team needs to make. Send the drawings, specifications, and scope you have, and we clarify the requested service before work begins.

08Can I request help with only part of a bid?

Choose a focused service or bring us a broader scope. Each engagement can be scoped around the available drawings, trade requirements, and the deliverable your team needs — from a single takeoff to broader bid support.

09Can estimates be updated when drawings change?

Estimating information remains useful after the bid. Project Management Support and Cost Control help teams review changes, quantities, and cost implications as work develops.

10What will I receive at the end of the service?

The final package is organized for review and includes the relevant scope, quantities, cost information, and notes available from the project documents.

11How do I request a quote?

Send the drawings, requested service, and bid date through the quote form so Falconize can review the scope and next steps.
