Rocket Estimation USA is a construction cost estimating and consulting firm serving general contractors, subcontractors, developers, construction management firms, and architecture firms across the United States. Since 2013, we've been the numbers behind winning bids, well-managed budgets, and projects that come in on schedule.

Backed by over a decade of hands-on estimating experience, our team delivers detailed quantity takeoffs, cost estimates, and project schedules using the industry-standard tools relied on by leading US firms: RIB CostX and PlanSwift for takeoffs, cost data adjusted for local market conditions, CSI MasterFormat divisions for clean deliverables, and Primavera P6 for scheduling.

Cost Estimating

We turn takeoff quantities into complete, defensible cost estimates — labor and material pricing based on RS Means data and current local market rates, organized by CSI division. Whether conceptual budget or 100% CD, numbers hold up.

Project Scheduling
Realistic timelines your team can build to.
A strong bid needs a schedule to match. We build project schedules in Primavera P6 — sequencing, durations, and critical path — so you know what's driving your timeline and where the risk sits before you commit to a date.
- ✓ Primavera P6 schedule development
- ✓ Critical path analysis & float mapping
- ✓ Phased and milestone scheduling
- ✓ Resource and duration planning

Before you send the first set.
Answers to common questions about our takeoff workflows, pricing feeds, and deliverable formats.
What file formats do you accept?
PDF plan sets, CAD, Revit, and images. If your drawings are in scaled format, our estimators can perform complete line-by-line takeoffs directly from them.
How current is your pricing data?
Material rates are refreshed weekly against regional supplier feeds and RS Means indexes; labor rates are set per metro area against prevailing productivity data.
What if the plans change mid-bid?
Send the revision PDF or addendum. On full bid packages, scope updates within the 14-day window are included seamlessly.
Do you bid against us?
No. We estimate only — we don't work for the project owner or bid on jobs you're bidding. Your plan sets and bid numbers are strictly confidential.
Can you match our existing bid template?
Yes. Send a past Excel workbook and we will deliver your takeoffs in your exact format, using your line-item naming, formulas, and markup structure.
