At Build Estimation, we specialized providing the best concrete services . Our expertise covers a wide range of concrete sub-divisions, including spread footings, concrete pedestals, continuous footings, concrete walls, grade beams, columns, wall panels, slabs on grade, elevated slabs, and more. We pride ourselves on our ability to deliver high-quality, precise, and durable concrete solutions tailored to each project’s unique requirements. Our meticulous approach ensures that all aspects, from material selection to execution, are handled with the utmost professionalism and attention to detail.
Concrete Cost Estimation at Build Estimation?
Concrete cost estimation is a critical part of our service offering. At Build Estimation, we break down the estimation process into five major categories: concrete, rebar, formwork, excavation/backfill, and miscellaneous items. Our estimators use their extensive experience and diligence to prepare highly accurate estimates that reflect the specific needs of each project. We provide detailed breakdowns by grade, location, type, and floor, ensuring clarity and precision. Whether it’s standard concrete, specialty placed concrete, or a variety of concrete finishes, our estimates help clients plan and execute their projects efficiently and cost-effectively.
We divide the concrete work into these sub-divisions?
- Spread Footing (also called pad or isolated footing)
- Concrete Pedestal
- Continuous Footing
- Concrete Wall
- Grade Beams
- Concrete Columns
- Concrete Wall Panels
- Slab on Grade
- Elevated Slab
- Concrete Topping Over Steel Treads and Landing
- Pre-cast concrete panels
- Grouting (Non-shrink, Epoxy)
The above sub-divisions are further broken out into five major categories as;
- Concrete
- Rebar
- Formwork
- Excavation/Backfill
Now we will explore all five components of the concrete estimation.
Concrete

- Type wise break out (P1. GB1, B1, SOG-1, etc.)
- Floor wise break out (First floor, second floor, etc.)
- Specialty placed concrete (Dry-mix shotcrete, Wet-mix shotcrete)
- Concrete finish (High-Tolerance finish, Heavy-Duty Finish, Colored-Concrete finish, Polished Concrete, etc.)
Rebar
- We provide the steel rebar as per following
- Material wise breakout (Steel, Glass fiber reinforced polymer)
