MockingBids
Construction estimating services, built like a bid desk.
A staff estimator is a salary. A desk is a bid when you need one.
Professional construction estimating: quantity takeoff, cost estimating, exclusions, and a bid-ready package. Remote desk. Fixed quote before anyone measures. Your letterhead.
Construction estimating services are a desk, not a login. MockingBids reads the set, performs the quantity takeoff, applies labor and material, and writes the exclusions a bid meeting will test. Contractors get a bid on their letterhead. Homeowners and agents get a brief they can hand to a GC, a buyer, or a lender.
Turnaround printed on the package
Estimate is 3 business days, guaranteed. 3D Render is 5 business days, guaranteed. Estimate + Render Bundle is 5 business days, guaranteed.
Fixed quote before anyone measures
The fee is on the card. There is no surprise invoice after takeoff starts.
Your letterhead. Never submitted as you
The signature, the bond, and the subs stay on your desk.
Exclusions and revisions in the file
Allowances, alternates, and named revision rounds — not a phone call later.
