    Get ahead with accurate estimates that make your bids stand out from the rest and help you win more contracts. California’s home market size reached around $64.1 in 2024, and the local government has announced the construction of 55,000 single-family & 45,000 multi-family units. In the upcoming year, these numbers will increase to 60,000 single-family & 50,000 multi-family units. However, many contractors do not bid on the projects and leave the chance to increase their revenue by up to 60% because they are busy with ongoing construction work.

    Do not miss any single chance to increase your bidding capabilities and contract winning ratio as we are here with our precise residential construction estimating services in California. Our estimators have worked on home construction work so they can carefully review the project drawings to completely understand the requirements of the projects. They create accurate bid estimates by adding a complete breakdown of costs, including materials costs, labor rates, and overhead expenses. Upload the project plans and get a quote within 10 minutes.
