How do you price your estimates?

We use trusted, industry-standard, and regularly updated cost databases such as RSMeans and the National Construction Estimator by Craftsman, which provide zip-code–based pricing that’s revised multiple times throughout the year. This localized pricing system allows us to account for regional differences in material costs, labor rates, and market fluctuations — ensuring every estimate we prepare is both precise and competitive. Our estimators don’t just rely on software; they apply real-world experience and professional judgment to interpret data accurately and adjust for factors like seasonal trends, supply chain impacts, inflation, and regional construction practices. This combination of technology and expertise ensures that every bid we deliver truly reflects current market conditions, giving our clients a strategic advantage when competing for projects and helping them maintain profitability and confidence in their pricing.

How can I get started?

Absolutely not. At Hill Estimation, we take confidentiality, integrity, and professional ethics very seriously. Every client’s data, drawings, and estimate are treated with the highest level of privacy and security. Each estimate we create is 100% unique, developed exclusively for the client who requests it — we never share, reuse, or replicate your project information under any circumstances. Protecting your trust is central to our values, and we firmly believe that maintaining confidentiality is essential for building strong, long-term business relationships. Our commitment goes beyond delivering accurate estimates — it’s about ensuring that your information, strategies, and competitive edge remain secure and exclusive to you.

Do you charge hourly or per project?

No worries! Even if you don’t have full blueprints, our experts can prepare a preliminary estimate based on your project details, specs, and prior data.
We’ll make professional assumptions to help you move forward confidently.

Extremely accurate. Our estimators are experienced engineers, trade specialists, field superintendents, and project managers.
By using zip-code based pricing and factoring in inflation, material shortages, tariffs, and even natural disasters, we ensure your estimate reflects real-world costs.
