Vertical projects need one defensible cost for the full building envelope before trades are bought out or lenders release funds. Sky Estimates measures foundations through roof, base building MEP, common areas, and fit-out scope, then rolls results into division summaries owners, equity partners, and construction managers can trace and challenge.
Architectural, structural, and MEP scope is quantified from PDF plans and specifications with core, shell, and fit-out kept separate so totals reflect how the building is financed and built. This is whole building vertical costing for apartments, mixed-use towers, and institutional projects, not interior TI bid packaging built for a GC pursuit deadline.
Structured rollups cut rework between budgeting and buyout, give lenders confidence in the cover-sheet total, and keep shell versus interior dollars visible through every revision.
Owners and lenders reject template costs pulled from the wrong building type. They want measured vertical scope, current market rates, and assumptions traced from substructure through fit-out. Gaps caught during budgeting cost far less than gaps found after award.
Sky Estimates delivers whole building estimates with division rollups, visible allowances, and scope notes that separate shell from interior work. Your submission holds up in owner reviews, lender underwriting, and construction manager scrutiny.
Production aligned to your budget or bid milestone
Market pricing applied to measured vertical scope
Excel exports matched to your template when provided
Direct access to your lead estimator during production
QA-reviewed output with core, shell, and fit-out separation
Revision tracking when drawings or bulletins change
Building takeoffs span the vertical envelope: foundations, superstructure, cladding, roofing, vertical circulation, base building MEP, common-area finishes, and site work as shown on your drawings and specifications.
Missing details, conflicting notes, and optional scope lines are flagged so your team resolves risk before the whole building rollup goes to an owner, lender, or internal approval gate.

Get a Free QuoteCore and shell covers structure, envelope, base building MEP, and common areas that serve the whole building. Fit-out covers tenant or unit interiors, specialty finishes, and equipment specific to occupancy. We separate both so owners and lenders see where dollars land.
Apartments, mixed-use towers, institutional buildings, core-and-shell commercial, and vertical additions are common. Division rollups follow the building type so stakeholders can compare scope across similar vertical projects.
No. Building estimating covers whole vertical construction cost across core, shell, and fit-out. Commercial TI estimating targets interior GC bid packages with CSI buyouts, owner forms, and alternates for tenant improvement and pursuit work.
