Your Trade Is Specialized. Your Estimate Should Be Too
A general contractor’s estimating team can ballpark your scope. They can’t price it like someone who’s spent years inside your trade. Concrete pricing isn’t drywall pricing. MEP rough-in isn’t roofing. When a generalist estimates a specialty trade, the gaps show up in your margins.
AH Estimating provides trade-specific estimating for subcontractors across Florida — concrete, MEP, masonry, steel, roofing, demolition, framing, sitework, painting, and more. Every estimate is built by someone who understands your trade’s actual cost drivers, not a generic line item template.
TRADES WE ESTIMATE
Trades We Cover
Concrete Estimating
Footings, slabs, foundations, flatwork. Full quantity takeoff plus labor and forming cost breakdowns calibrated to Florida concrete pricing.
MEP Estimating
Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing scopes priced separately or together — rough-in, fixtures, equipment, and Florida-specific code-driven cost items.
Masonry Estimating
Block, brick, and stone — by course, by wall section, with mortar and accessory quantities included.
Steel Estimating
Structural steel, miscellaneous metals, connections, and decking priced with current Florida steel market rates.
Roofing Estimating
Shingle, tile, metal, and flat roofing systems — material counts by square plus labor pricing for Florida's wind-rated roofing requirements.
Demolition Estimating
Selective and full demolition scope, debris removal, and disposal cost — scoped against your actual project conditions.
HOW WE WORK WITH SUBCONTRACTORS
We know subcontractor bidding moves fast, the plans come in, the bid is due in days, and you need numbers you can trust without spending your week buried in a takeoff. Our trade-specific estimating process is built around that reality:
Fast turnaround
24 to 48 hours standard, rush options available for tight bid deadlines
Scope-matched pricing
We estimate exactly your trade's scope, not the whole project
CSI-formatted line items
Clean enough to submit directly or fold into your bid template
Repeat-client pricing
Ongoing subcontractor relationships get faster turnaround and consistent formatting
How Generic Estimating Costs Subcontractors Money
- Generic estimators apply average unit costs in result your trade’s real cost drivers get flattened into a guess
- Trade-specific estimators know which line items get missed most often in your scope
- Florida code requirements vary by trade. Wind load for roofing, GFCI requirements for electrical, frost-free depth exemptions for concrete
- Specialty equipment and crew costs differ wildly by trade and aren’t captured in blended estimating
- A trade-specific estimate holds up better under GC scrutiny and change order disputes

We estimate single trades exclusively for subcontractors as well as full multi-trade projects for general contractors. You only pay for the scope you need priced.
Concrete, MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing), masonry, steel, roofing, demolition, framing, drywall, sitework, and painting — across residential, commercial, and industrial projects.
Yes. We can deliver your trade estimate in our standard CSI format or matched to your own bid template if you provide one.
Trade-specific estimating accounts for the actual cost drivers, code requirements, and labor productivity rates unique to that trade — rather than applying blended, average unit costs across an entire project.
