Industrial & Process Construction Estimating

AACE Class 1–5 industrial estimates for process piping, oil sands and petrochemical plants, mining, water and wastewater treatment, tanks and pressure vessels.

Technical Overview

Industrial EPC and turnaround work runs to ASME B31.3 with reference to CSA B51, CSA Z662 for pipelines, and AACE estimate classes. We take off P&IDs, isometrics, alloy weld inches, rigging, instrumentation loops and outage productivity, and add camp, LOA and travel allowances for remote Canadian sites.

Governing Canadian Codes & Standards:
CSA B51 with ASME B31.3 CSA Z662 oil and gas pipeline systems ABSA / TSSA / Technical Safety BC jurisdictional standards AACE International estimate classes

Bid Intelligence FAQ

Industrial & Process Estimating FAQ

Clear answers about our Canadian estimation deliverables, turnaround, software and fees.

How much do industrial & process construction estimating cost in Canada? ▼
Single-scope industrial & process takeoffs start from CA$75 CAD. Most commercial bid packages are quoted as guaranteed flat fees based on drawing sheet count and scope complexity with zero hidden add-ons.
What deliverables are included with a Industrial & Process estimate? ▼
Every package includes an unlocked, fully editable Microsoft Excel Bill of Quantities (BOQ) with all formula links intact, colour-coded marked-up PDF drawing layers, an unpriced vendor Bill of Materials (BOM) for supply house pricing, and a verified inclusions and exclusions sheet.
What software platforms and workflows do your industrial & process estimators use? ▼
Our estimators prepare takeoffs with industry-standard Canadian estimating and takeoff software. Deliverables are unlocked Microsoft Excel workbooks and colour-coded marked-up PDFs, so you do not need a software licence to review them.
How are Canadian codes and standards addressed in Industrial & Process? ▼
We cross-reference every line item against Canadian standards including CSA B51 with ASME B31.3, CSA Z662 oil and gas pipeline systems, ABSA / TSSA / Technical Safety BC jurisdictional standards, AACE International estimate classes, calibrating labour productivity and freight allowances to your project province and Forward Sortation Area (FSA).
Are my bid figures and drawings kept confidential? ▼
Your project is safe with us. We never share your drawings, pricing, or bid figures with any other contractor. An NDA is available on request — just ask and we will sign one before you share your plans.
