WHO IS I AM BUILDERS?

I AM Builders is a National Construction Estimating Firm in the business of helping developers build projects.

With our construction estimating services, we’ll prepare a detailed rough order of magnitude (ROM) for your project.

Most developers are preparing budgets in the middle of the project planning process. You’re coordinating developments, obtaining permits, and going to meetings… without a realistic budget.

This isn’t feasible in the long-term. But the good news it doesn’t have to be that way!

Our estimates are designed as guidelines for you to finalize pricing so you’ll be able to make your final adjustments with the Excel Spreadsheet we send you. You can adjust Supervision, Equipment, Profit, and manually override any of our estimated pricing. Our labor and material costs come from Craftsman National Construction Estimator Database which is updated several times per year. Our estimating team are construction professionals with plenty of field experience and we make adjustments based on factors such as changes to productivity, equipment, etc. For example, if a wall is 20 ft high, we’ll need to include a lift along with slower productivity to adjust the labor price.
Pricing in all regions varies and we used highly accurate cost databases along with field experience to price projects. We carry a $1 Million Accuracy Guarantee covered by our Errors and Omissions Insurance. If we were to ever make a mistake and you lose money on a project, you are completely covered. There will always be a variation in pricing based on the fluctuations in the market, labor shortages or surpluses, and major events that suddenly increase or decrease material or labor pricing.
