About
JL Estimate
At JL Estimation, we support general contractors, manufacturers and installers in the preparation of their construction bids and quantities.
Although our primary expertise is structural steel (fabrication and assembly), we also carry out take-offs and estimates for concrete, wood, and other structural elements.
With over 15 years of field experience, we provide fast, accurate, and transparent estimates, whether it's a warehouse, bridge, commercial building, or institutional project.
Our strengths:
Multi-material expertise (steel, concrete, wood)
Clear and detailed deliverables (quantities, tables, exclusions)
Fast turnaround times to speed up your submissions
Pre-construction support (coordination, schedule, phasing)
Coverage of Quebec, Canada and the United States
All our surveys and estimates are carried out using state-of-the-art estimating software, ensuring speed and accuracy. We can also work from 3D models (BIM, Revit, Tekla, etc.) to extract the exact information requested. The data provided to our clients is easily traceable and can be revised or adjusted later, using detailed quantity reports provided with each project.
Multi-Trade Estimates
We prepare detailed and accurate quantities for a wide variety of projects:
Exterior cladding (panels, siding, roofs)
Masonry & Brick
Interior systems (walls, partitions, ceilings)
Concrete (forms, slabs, formwork, foundations)
No matter the type of project—warehouse, residential, school, commercial, or infrastructure—we tailor our deliverables to meet the specific needs of your submissions.
