The Process

1

You Send Your Project Information

Share whatever you have - we work with any level of detail:

  • Scope of work - What needs to be done? Describe the project in your own words
  • Site photos - Current conditions, existing equipment, access points
  • Drawings/specs - If available, architectural or engineering documents
  • Location - Municipality affects permit costs and code requirements
  • Timeline - When do you need the estimate?

Don't have everything? No problem. We'll work with what you have and ask clarifying questions as needed.

We Analyze Your Project

Using our comprehensive estimation system and 36+ years of field experience, we build your complete estimate:

  • Labor calculation - Based on real-world task times, we calculate hours for each phase of work with built-in contingencies
  • Code verification - We verify Ontario Building Code compliance for your specific project and location
  • Permit research - We include all required permits and inspection fees based on your municipality
  • Overhead allocation - Proper overhead and markup calculations for realistic project costs
  • Contingency buffers - We add 15-20% for the unexpected issues that always arise

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an estimate cost?

Pricing depends on project size and complexity. Contact us with your project details for a quote. We provide clear pricing upfront - no hidden fees.

What if I don't have all the project information?

Send us what you have. We'll work with available information and contact you for clarification on critical details. Partial information is better than none.

Can you do estimates for projects outside the GTA?

Yes. Our materials database covers Ontario, and we can research local permit requirements and supplier pricing for your specific area.

What if the estimate needs changes?

Minor revisions (quantity adjustments, similar value substitutions) are typically included. Major scope changes may require a new estimate at a reduced rate.

How do I send project photos?

Email them to info@pipequotepro.ca or send via text message to (289) 633-2333. Multiple angles of existing conditions are helpful.

Do you estimate multi-trade projects?

Yes. We handle complete project estimation including plumbing, HVAC, electrical, fire protection, drywall, painting, and environmental remediation.
