Plant bids fail when steel tonnage is light, process piping tie-ins hide in a lump sum, or equipment setting lacks rigging and alignment allowance. A missed outage window or underpriced live connection can erase more margin than the entire estimate. Sky Estimates supports owners, EPC teams, and contractors who need facility numbers that survive turnaround pressure and multi-trade review.
We deliver pre-feasibility ROMs, detailed facility estimates, and bid-stage takeoffs for manufacturing lines, process plants, and heavy warehouse systems. Structural steel tonnage, process piping, equipment setting, and coordinated industrial electrical and mechanical scope are measured together so trades do not redraw boundaries after award.
Plant expansions, standalone steel packages, utility tie-ins, and multi-trade facility bids get structured output that protects margin and keeps outage-driven submissions on schedule.

Plant steel work covers fabrication tonnage, field erection, connections, platforms, handrails, ladders, and fireproofing. Quantities are captured by weight and piece count, including rebar, pipe supports, and equipment setting allowances, with assumptions documented wherever existing conditions or field fit may shift totals.
Output is formatted for fabricator and erector buyout so steel vendors price from your takeoff instead of rebuilding tonnage from drawings on their own.
Industrial electrical scope on plant and warehouse work includes medium and low voltage distribution, motor control centers, instrumentation, emergency power, and heavy warehouse lighting. Switchgear, panels, transmitters, conduit, cable tray, and power management gear are taken off with scope notes wherever P&IDs or one-line diagrams need clarification before pricing closes.
Process piping, utility piping, and live tie-in scope
Industrial HVAC, exhaust, and process ventilation
Fire suppression, deluge, and safety systems
Gas, fuel, and steam distribution piping
Compressed air and plant utility headers
Equipment setting, rigging, and alignment allowances
Takeoffs in PlanSwift, Bluebeam, and Trimble workflows
Steel tonnage, piping, and equipment scope pass QA with documented assumptions so owners, EPC teams, and subs can review coordinated numbers before outage windows close.
Our team works from process specifications, equipment lists, and facility bid formats, not repurposed commercial interior templates that miss plant-specific scope.
Schedules follow your turnaround or bid window, with expedited capacity when drawing issue and submission sit inside a narrow outage slot.
Outsourced industrial estimating adds bench strength so your in-house team can pursue more plant and facility work without drowning in tonnage and piping takeoffs.
Coverage across manufacturing, process, and heavy facility sectors
Coordinated steel tonnage, piping, electrical, and mechanical scope
NDA-friendly intake for confidential plant drawings
Delivery schedules confirmed after drawing review
Revision support when addenda or bulletins issue
Dedicated lead estimator from intake through delivery

Get a Free QuoteYes. Steel scope is measured by fabrication tonnage, erection weight, connections, platforms, and supports tied to equipment setting. Output is formatted for fabricator and erector buyout with assumptions documented where field conditions may vary.
Yes. We model phased execution, shutdown tie-ins, and outage-driven labor assumptions so your submission reflects the calendar constraints that govern plant work, not a generic commercial bid schedule.
Process piping, utility headers, MCCs, instrumentation, and equipment setting are quantified with shared scope notes so electrical and mechanical trades do not redraw boundaries after award. QA review confirms coordinated assumptions before delivery.
Look for plant experience, fluency with steel tonnage and process piping takeoffs, QA discipline, and estimators who flag outage and equipment-setting risk early. That is the standard Sky Estimates applies to industrial work.
Upload P&IDs, equipment schedules, and facility drawings. We confirm scope, fixed pricing, and delivery before production begins.
