Our Story
Built for the
Industry's Demands
Union Estimating was founded by construction professionals who understood a fundamental problem in the industry: contractors, developers, and owners were making multi-million dollar decisions based on inaccurate, incomplete, or biased cost data.
We built Union Estimating to solve that problem. Our team of experienced estimators, quantity surveyors, and cost consultants delivers the kind of rigorous, independent cost analysis that serious construction professionals demand.
Today, we serve General Contractors, Subcontractors, Developers, Architects, Engineers, Construction Managers, Owners, Lenders, Government Agencies, Municipalities, and Federal Contractors throughout the United States.
From preliminary feasibility budgets to final bid estimates, from RSMeans cost reports to Independent Government Estimates — we provide the full spectrum of construction cost services under one roof.
Our Mission
To provide construction professionals and project owners with the most accurate, reliable, and actionable cost data in the industry — enabling better decisions, stronger bids, and more profitable projects.
Our Vision
To be the most trusted name in construction cost estimating in North America — the firm that contractors, developers, and government agencies turn to when the numbers have to be right.
Nationwide Coverage
We serve clients across all 50 states with local market pricing, regional cost adjustments, and knowledge of local labor rates, material costs, and regulatory requirements.
