Terms and Conditions
Construction Estimating Company NYC makes these Terms and Conditions available so you know exactly what governs the use of our website and our services. Take a few minutes to read through them. Once you use our site or place a service request, these terms apply to you.
Acceptance of Terms
Using our website at https://constructionestimatingcompanynyc.com/ or requesting any of our services means you accept these terms as written. If something here doesn’t work for you, the right move is to stop using the site and not place an order. These construction estimating services terms cover every type of client we work with—general cont
Description of Services
Construction Estimating Company NYC provides professional construction estimating services. That covers quantity takeoffs, cost estimating, and bid preparation across a wide range of trades and building types.
Every estimate starts with what you send us—drawings, specifications, and any supporting documents. We review that material, count and measure the scope, apply current pricing, and deliver a detailed report. We are an estimating firm, not a contractor. We don’t build anything, supply materials, or manage construction.
These construction takeoff services terms apply to every takeoff and estimating package we deliver, whether it’s a single trade or a full project scope.
Use of Website
An estimate is the sum of a lot of moving parts. Knowing what drives each one helps you read yours — and push back when a number looks wrong.
Our website is available for lawful use only. These website terms of use prohibit uploading malicious code, attempting unauthorized access, or using the site in any way that could harm us or other visitors.
Our content—articles, service descriptions, formatting, and graphics—belongs to us. Don’t copy or redistribute it without getting written permission first. We reserve the right to modify or take down any part of the site without advance notice.
Accuracy of Estimates and Assumptions
Every estimate we produce is tied directly to the drawings, specifications, and project information you provide. When those documents are complete and current, our numbers hold up well.
That said, an estimate is a professional projection—it is not a binding price guarantee. Final costs can shift for reasons that are entirely outside our control:
- Material and labor pricing moving between estimate date and construction
- Design revisions or scope changes that happen after we deliver
- Documents that were missing, incomplete, or contradictory
- Site conditions that only become visible once work begins
- Alternates or change orders added by the owner later in the process
Each estimate clearly lists our assumptions and exclusions. That section tells you what’s in, what’s out, and where we filled gaps due to missing information. Read it carefully before you use the numbers.
Client Responsibilities
Solid estimates require solid information. When you engage us, you agree to provide accurate, complete documents—drawings, specifications, addendums, and revisions.
Beyond that, you commit to:
- Forwarding updated files and addendums promptly as they’re issued
- Communicating your bid deadline and preferred turnaround when you reach out
- Responding to scope questions without unnecessary delay
- Confirming you’re authorized to share the documents with a third party
When information arrives late or turns out to be incomplete, it can affect both the accuracy of the estimate and when we deliver it. Errors that stem from incorrect or missing documents are not our responsibility.
Payment Terms
Fees are agreed in writing before any work begins. Payment terms are spelled out in your quote or invoice and govern each project.
Absent a different arrangement, invoices are due upon receipt. We may hold the final deliverable until payment is confirmed. Overdue balances can affect our ability to continue work on current or future projects. Our fees cover estimating services only and do not include any applicable taxes.
The estimating services agreement between you and Construction Estimating Company NYC is active once you approve a quote and we start work.
Turnaround Time and Delivery
Each project gets a turnaround window based on scope size and document completeness. Standard estimates typically turn around within a few business days. If your timeline is tight, ask about rush availability—we accommodate that when we can, sometimes for an additional fee.
The clock on turnaround starts once we have a full document set and agreed payment terms. Deadlines we quote are good-faith targets, not hard commitments. Late-arriving documents or added scope can shift delivery. We send completed estimates by email or through whatever file-sharing method we’ve agreed on.
Revisions and Change Orders
Plans get revised. Addendums show up the week before bid day. When updated drawings come in, we revise the affected quantities and adjust pricing accordingly.
Small changes that fall within the original project scope are often handled without extra charge, depending on your agreement with us. Anything that adds meaningfully to the scope—new trades, new areas, significant redesigns—gets treated as a change order. We confirm pricing on that before picking it up.
Intellectual Property
Everything published on our website—written content, visual elements, logos, and layout—is owned by Construction Estimating Company NYC. Reproducing or redistributing any of it requires our explicit written consent.
The estimates and takeoffs we create for you are yours to use on your project. Bidding, budgeting, planning—all fair use. What you can’t do is sell them, license them, or present them as something your firm produced. Our underlying methods, templates, and databases stay ours regardless of any individual project.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, Construction Estimating Company NYC bears no liability for indirect, incidental, or consequential losses. That includes lost bids, lost profits, project delays, or construction cost overruns that result from relying on our estimates.
If a claim does arise, our total exposure is capped at the amount you paid us for the specific estimate at issue. Estimates are professional projections. Decisions about bids, contracts, and budgets are yours to make, and the responsibility that comes with them stays with you.
Disclaimer of Warranties
We put real effort and expertise into every estimate. Still, our services and website come to you on an “as is” and “as available” basis.
We don’t guarantee that estimates will match final construction costs, nor do we promise uninterrupted access to the website. To the extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties—express or implied.
Confidentiality
Your project documents stay private. We don’t share drawings, specifications, or pricing information with anyone outside what’s needed to do your work, or unless we’re legally required to do so.
We’d ask the same from you. Our pricing structures, working methods, and proposals should stay confidential on your end. Both parties agree to handle shared information responsibly.
Termination of Services
Either party can end the engagement with written notice. If you cancel after work has started, you’re responsible for fees covering what was completed up to that point.
We can suspend or terminate services if you violate these terms, fail to pay, or request something that crosses legal or ethical lines. Even after termination, provisions covering intellectual property, liability limits, and confidentiality remain in effect.
Governing Law
New York State law governs these terms, with no reference to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute between you and Construction Estimating Company NYC will be resolved in the appropriate state or federal court in New York. Engaging our services means you agree to that jurisdiction and venue.
Changes to These Terms
We review these terms periodically and update them when needed. Changes go live once posted here, along with a revised effective date.
Continuing to use our site or services after an update means you’ve accepted the new version. It’s worth checking this page occasionally so nothing catches you off guard.
