In modern construction, the accuracy of Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) estimates can make or break a project’s budget. Unlike general estimating, MEP quantity takeoff is a technical and specialized discipline — one that requires deep industry knowledge, systems coordination, and up-to-date pricing.
That’s where True Bid Data Inc. steps in.
At truebiddata.com, we provide expert-level MEP estimating services powered by a seasoned team of engineers with 6+ years of hands-on experience in construction and cost estimation. Whether you’re a general contractor, developer, or architect, our detailed quantity takeoffs help you bid smarter and build with confidence.
What Makes MEP Takeoffs So Complex?
Mechanical (HVAC) Systems
Accurate HVAC estimating requires more than counting ducts. It involves a full understanding of air handling units, duct routing, VAV boxes, diffusers, fans, dampers, grilles, controls, and insulation. Our team evaluates the entire HVAC system layout to ensure all components are captured and costed — from the plant room to the ceiling terminals.
Electrical Systems
Electrical systems must be coordinated with structural, mechanical, and architectural drawings. Our electrical takeoffs include wiring, conduits, breakers, switchgear, panelboards, cable trays, lighting fixtures, receptacles, emergency systems, and low-voltage infrastructure. We ensure all power and lighting elements are accounted for, avoiding gaps that lead to costly change orders.
Plumbing Systems
We conduct detailed takeoffs for hot and cold water supply, sanitary drainage, vent systems, pumps, valves, interceptors, and fixtures. Whether you’re connecting to water tanks, manholes, or rooftop drain systems, we provide a clear and comprehensive plumbing material list.
Elevators and Special Systems
Where lifts or other specialized mechanical systems are included, we ensure related scopes — like sump pumps, motor control panels, emergency feeds, and shaft ventilation — are properly estimated.
