WHAT THE SERVICE DOES

Hiraya prepares retail estimates and construction bids for residential and commercial contractors. A retail bid sets out the work and price you propose to a customer. We help turn your plans and job details into a scope and cost breakdown. Our estimating service starts at $199.

HOW WE HELP

Put the work behind the price.

  • A scope for the proposed work
  • An organized cost breakdown
  • A customer-facing proposal

WHAT TO PREPARE

Start with the job details.

  • The latest plans, drawings, or measurements
  • Work scope and project specifications
  • Material and finish choices
  • Bid deadline, requirements, and exclusions
Use the document checklist
01 / IN PRACTICE

A total leaves a lot unsaid.

Two bids can show the same price and cover very different work. A useful proposal lets the customer see what is included. Separate the work by area or trade, and make room for the choices that still need to be made.

02 / IN PRACTICE

Send the plans you are bidding from.

A revised drawing can change a quantity, a material, or a whole part of the scope. Mark the current set and flag any pending changes. That gives the estimate a clear starting point and helps avoid pricing an old version of the job.

03 / IN PRACTICE

Your team makes the final offer.

Before sending the bid, review supplier quotes, crew costs, the schedule, and work you have left out. Check your margin and final selling price. The estimate helps organize that review; your business decides the terms of the offer.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS

Questions about the work.

All questions
What does “retail estimate” mean?

It is an estimate for work a customer may buy directly, such as a construction or repair project. It sets out a proposed scope and price. It is separate from a request to revise an insurance claim estimate.

Do you prepare both residential and commercial bids?

Yes. Hiraya prepares retail proposals and estimates for residential and commercial projects. Share the plans and bid requirements so the team can check the fit.

Is $199 the full price for every estimate?

No. Retail estimates start at $199. The size and scope of your project affect the fee. Ask for the full quote before work begins.

Can I ask for a quote before my plans are complete?

Yes. Describe the job and what you have so far. The team can identify which details are still needed before the estimate scope and fee are set.
