JLG Estimating provides remote commercial MEP takeoff and bid estimating support for trade contractors bidding projects in Denver. Send the current plans, specifications, addenda, and scope boundaries so your estimate can be structured around the project documents and Denver municipal guidelines.
Request plan-based quantities or priced estimating support for your bid package. Fees for most Denver commercial estimates fall between $150 and $1,000. Turnaround is typically 24–48 hours, scaled to the size and scope of the job. Start with the scope and fee guide and the drawing-revision checklist.
Remote commercial MEP estimating and quantity takeoff support for contractors bidding projects in Denver. Start with the project address, requested trades, current drawings, specifications, schedules, bid instructions, and addenda.
JLG measures and organizes the agreed estimating scope from supplied project documents. JLG does not determine the permitting jurisdiction, design systems, certify code compliance, submit permits, or imply a local Denver office or field team.
The City and County of Denver Community Planning and Development (CPD) department enforces the Denver Building and Fire Code alongside the Denver Green Code. At 5,280 feet elevation, commercial mechanical estimating requires accounting for high-altitude equipment derating (affecting fan static pressures, air volume CFM, and burner combustion air) and 48-inch frost line depths on exterior utilities.
| Context type | How to use it for estimating |
|---|---|
| State requirement | Use the parent Colorado estimating hub for sourced statewide context; confirm the applicable edition for the project. |
| City / AHJ requirement | The cited Denver material applies only when that authority and review path govern the project. Confirm the address and project type first. |
| Utility requirement | Do not assume a utility scope. Include it only when the bid documents or the responsible utility identify the interface. |
| General construction context | Treat market or project-type observations as intake context, not as code or permit requirements. |
Jurisdiction note: The cited references describe City and County of Denver CPD procedures. Project requirements depend on the adopted code edition and must be confirmed by the design team.
Choose the trade scope that matches the bid package. JLG's estimating work is based on the supplied drawings, specifications, scope, and revisions; the project team remains responsible for design and code decisions.
High-altitude mechanical equipment, boilers, and variable air volume takeoffs.
Domestic water, underground sanitary, and freeze-protected utility lines.
Hydronic heating, chilled water, and glycol snowmelt loop piping.
Sheet-metal poundage and insulation takeoffs compliant with SMACNA.
Estimating is performed from the project information supplied by the contractor. A clear package helps keep scope, revisions, and assumptions visible through the takeoff; it does not transfer design or code responsibility to the estimator.

We verify that equipment takeoffs reflect the engineer's high-altitude specifications, noting fan static pressure, air density adjustments, and burner capacities.
No. JLG provides quantity takeoff support from the drawings. Energy modeling and compliance filings remain with the design professional.
Send the current architectural and MEP drawing set, mechanical schedules, specifications, addenda, and scope boundaries.
Send the project scope, current drawings, specifications, and addenda to discuss estimating support.
