Our Story
Edgewise Estimation Inc. was founded with one goal in mind: to give contractors and developers a sharper edge in the bidding process. Based in Lombard, Illinois, we've built our reputation on delivering estimates that are accurate, fast, and formatted exactly the way the industry expects them.
We work with general contractors, specialty subcontractors, developers, and owner-builders across the Chicago metropolitan area and beyond. Whether you're bidding a single-family renovation or a multi-story commercial development, our estimating team brings the same level of precision to every line item.
We believe that a good estimate isn't just a number — it's a competitive tool. Our process starts with a thorough review of your project documents, followed by a detailed quantity survey, and finishes with a bid-ready deliverable formatted to your specifications. We use industry-standard software including PlanSwift, Bluebeam, and RSMeans to ensure your numbers are grounded in real market data.
Turnaround matters in this industry. Most projects are delivered within 24–48 hours of receiving complete plans, without compromising the accuracy you need to win.
Every estimate is built line by line from your actual project documents — no templates, no guesswork.
