Terms & Conditions


These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the construction estimating and takeoff services (“Services”) provided by Estimating Company. It is a company based in New Jersey (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using our Services, you (“you,” “your,” or “Client”) agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, you must not use our Services.

Reading these Terms carefully is necessary before doing any transactions or services. These Terms are subject to change from time to time, and any changes will be posted on this page. Your continued use of the Services after changes have been made shall constitute your acceptance of those changes.

Scope of Services

We provide construction estimating and takeoff services in New Jersey. Our Services include but are not limited to preparing cost estimates for construction projects, preparing material takeoffs, and providing advice related to the estimating process.

To use our Services, you agree to supply us with accurate, complete, and current information. We rely on the data you provide to make estimates and takeoffs. The quality of the work depends on the level of accuracy in the data you supply.

The services we render are as described in the service agreement or quotation given to you at the time of sale. The scope includes:

  • Preliminary cost estimates prepared with plans and specifications available.
  • Detailed material takeoffs. This would mean breaking down the quantity and types of materials needed for a project.
  • Consulting services in estimating and takeoff needs. If extra services are needed outside of the agreement or quotation, those will be based on a separate agreement and extra charges.

    Payment Terms

    Unless payment arrangements that are satisfactory for both of us have been agreed to in advance of the commencement of the work, then payments must be made in advance of any work. We accept payments by the following: credit/debit cards and PayPal. All payments must be received in full in advance, and work will not begin until payment has been made. Our payment terms are as follows
  • The services fees should be paid full at the acceptance of the services.
  • After making the payment, it will not be returned.
  • If there is a need for more work not in scope, we will update the estimate and require your approval and payment prior to proceeding.

    Accuracy of Estimates and Takeoffs

    We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that construction estimates and takeoff services rendered are correct and reliable. However, because construction is an industry of uncertain costs and flexible or variable costs, we cannot warrant a project cost at the end of the job or completion or final material quantities. You Agree
  • Estimates shall be estimates and could vary with changes in project conditions.
  • Takeoffs are based on the project documents given to us, and any change to the project documents may influence the final takeoff.
  • We are not responsible for any errors or omissions in data provided to us by you.

    Limitation of Liability

    To the fullest extent permitted by law, our liability in connection with any claim arising out of your use of the Services is limited to the amount you paid for such Services. We are not responsible for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your access to or use of the Services.

    WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE, EITHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHERWISE, FOR ANY DAMAGE OR LOSS ARISING FROM ANY USE OF ESTIMATE OR TAKEOFF THAT WE MAY FURNISH. NO REFUNDS.

    We have a No Refund policy. If you pay for the Services provided and the work has been started, we offer no refunds. This covers situations where you change your mind, wish to cancel a project, or are not satisfied with the Services.

    We recommend you verify the scope of service, terms, and deliverables prior to making any payment. If you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us prior to your purchase.

    Severability

    In the event that any provision of these Terms is determined to be illegal, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable, then such provision shall nonetheless be modified to make it legal, valid, and enforceable as initially written or, if that is not possible, severed from these Terms and such unenforceable provision or provisions shall in no way affect the validity of the remaining provisions.

    These Terms, together with any other agreements, policies or documents made available to you by us, constitute the entire agreement between you and EstimatingCompany regarding your use of our Services. All prior agreements, whether written or oral, are hereby superseded by this agreement.


Liabilities of the Client

For an accurate estimate and takeoffs, you have to ensure:
