About this Gig
Hi, I'm Engineer Abdul, a certified cost estimator with 9+ years of experience and 2,000+ projects turning drawings into accurate, bid-ready estimates.
For contractors and subcontractors needing MEP takeoff and BOQ, covering:
HVAC
- Ductwork, insulation, pipe/duct identification
- Valves, regulators, hangers, struts, supports
- Firestopping, vibration/seismic control
Electrical
- Switchboards, distribution panels, load centers, transformers
- Motor control centers, motor starters, power/lighting panels
- Feeder cables, circuit breakers, interior/exterior lighting, poles/bases
Plumbing
- Piping, pumps, fixtures, fittings, metallic valves
- Hangers, struts, supports, firestopping
I'm well-versed in the USA's CSI format, the UK's NRM3 and SMM7 measurement rules and Australia's POMI standard, so international clients receive an estimate formatted the way their market expects.
I work in PlanSwift and Bluebeam Revu, and price using RSMeans, Spon's/BCIS, and Rawlinsons cost data, whichever standard matches your project's region.
Send over your plans, and let's discuss the scope of work I'll turn around an accurate estimate fast. Thanks!

I recently completed the construction takeoff and estimation for the civil work for one of the Starbucks coffee shop based in Florida. the base bid for the civil work was about 0.2 M$. the client hired me on fiverr to prepare base bid proposal.

FAQ
What exactly does “MEP” cover?
Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing — HVAC ductwork and equipment, electrical distribution and lighting, and plumbing piping and fixtures. I can quote all three together or one trade at a time.
What do you need from me to get started?
PDF or CAD drawings and your scope of work — tell me whether you need a full project takeoff or a single trade only, and I'll confirm price and turnaround before starting.
Do you also do pricing and bid documentation?
yes, I do it with the help of RS mean software as per client's instructions.
Is MEP takeoff included in your general material takeoff gig?
No — MEP is a specialized scope with its own symbols, schedules, and pricing data, so it's quoted separately from general trades (see my Material Takeoff gig).
Can you take off mechanical, electrical, and plumbing separately if I only need one?
Yes, single-trade MEP takeoffs (HVAC only, electrical only, or plumbing only) are available — just tell me which scope you need.
Can I see a sample of your work before ordering?
Yes, just ask — I can share a sample takeoff/estimate so you know exactly what you're getting.
I'm not sure which package fits my project — what should I do?
Message me first with your drawings and scope before ordering. If your project doesn't fit neatly into the listed packages, I'll put together a custom offer instead.
Do I get a professional document I can send straight to a client or contractor?
Yes — you'll receive an editable Word/Excel file with clear, clean formatting, and I can add your company name and logo so it's ready to submit as-is.
What software and pricing data do you use?
PlanSwift and Bluebeam Revu for takeoffs, priced with RSMeans, Spon's/BCIS, or Rawlinsons data depending on your region — all kept current.
What's your turnaround time?
I'll confirm an exact delivery date after reviewing your drawings and scope — it depends on project size and complexity. Rush delivery is available for an additional fee if you're working to a bid deadline.
