What Are Education & School Estimating Services?
Education estimating services price buildings that must be durable, safe and delivered on fixed schedules — often during summer breaks. Schools combine classrooms with specialized spaces such as gymnasiums, cafeterias with commercial kitchens, science labs, auditoriums and administration areas.
We estimate new schools, additions, renovations, FEMA-rated storm shelters and safe rooms, athletic fields and stadiums, and university academic, research and residence buildings. Estimates are organized for public bid forms, alternates and phasing.
Alabama school systems and universities — from Huntsville and Madison City Schools to the University of Alabama and Auburn University — continue to invest in new and upgraded facilities.
