How It Works | PipeQuote Pro

The Process in Detail

You Send Us Your Project Information

Contact us by phone, email, or through our contact form with your project details. The more information you provide, the more accurate your estimate will be.

What to include:

Scope of work - What needs to be done (renovation, new installation, repair, etc.)
Site photos - Pictures of the current conditions, existing plumbing, access points
Project location - Address for permit requirements and municipal code verification
Fixture preferences - Specific brands, models, or quality level desired
Timeline - When you need the estimate and when the work is scheduled
Special considerations - Access issues, occupied building, structural concerns

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

We Analyze Your Project

Using our six specialized estimation databases and 36+ years of field experience, we build your complete estimate:

Materials selection - We identify all required materials from our 2,000+ item database with current 2025 GTA pricing
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 and profit - We apply proper markup to ensure your business stays profitable
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. Remember: one accurate estimate prevents $5,000-$10,000 in losses from underbidding - our fee pays for itself immediately.

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, fixture swaps of similar value) 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. Multiple angles of existing conditions are helpful.

Do you provide estimates for commercial projects?

Yes. We handle residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing estimates. Restaurant grease traps, multi-unit buildings, office spaces - we've got you covered.
