United Estimates Inc. is excited to announce our nationwide expansion of professional construction cost estimating services. As we scale our operations across the United States in 2026, we’re bringing advanced estimating capabilities to more contractors, developers, and project owners than ever before.
The construction industry is undergoing rapid transformation. With complex mega-projects on the horizon, inflationary cost pressures, and the adoption of cutting-edge AI and BIM technologies, accurate cost estimation has never been more critical. Here’s what our expansion means for you.
Market Outlook: Construction Estimating Services in 2026
The construction market is entering a period of steady growth in 2026. According to industry forecasts, overall U.S. construction starts are projected to grow around 4% in dollar value, with nonresidential construction returning to modest 3% growth in square footage.
Key growth drivers include:
– Data center and power/grid infrastructure expansion
– Federal infrastructure law projects supporting elevated bid volumes
– Renovation and retrofit work optimization as owners adapt to higher costs
– Complex megaprojects requiring sophisticated cost management
Why Nationwide Expansion Now?
Data centers and advanced technology infrastructure are creating unprecedented demand for highly precise estimating. Margins on technically complex jobs demand accuracy and real-time cost intelligence. Meanwhile, skilled labor shortages and material cost inflation (concrete costs rising 4-6% through 2026) require estimators to model labor constraints and regional variations into every bid.
Our nationwide expansion positions us to serve contractors and owners across high-growth sectors, from coastal markets seeing 8-10% cost increases to emerging tech hubs. Whether you’re managing infrastructure projects, commercial developments, or data center construction, our expertise adapts to regional challenges.

Cloud-Based Collaboration: Our cloud estimating platforms replace outdated spreadsheets, enabling distributed teams to collaborate on takeoff, pricing, and value engineering consistently across regions.
AI and Predictive Analytics: We use machine learning to forecast labor needs, material costs, and schedule delays, giving you bid competitiveness and superior risk assessment.
AI-Assisted BIM Integration: Real-time model-based quantity takeoff, design change impact analysis, and scenario modeling keep estimates accurate as projects evolve.
Data-Driven Preconstruction: From conceptual estimates to detailed GMP analyses, contingency modeling, and risk assessment—our tech-enabled advisory approach goes beyond quantity counting.
Services We’re Expanding
Our nationwide service offerings include:

Our nationwide expansion targets high-growth sectors and geographies:
Complex Infrastructure: Data centers, power grid upgrades, and critical infrastructure where sophisticated estimating expertise commands premium accuracy and value.
Regional Cost Adaptation: Our labor- and location-adjusted cost models account for material inflation and labor shortages in coastal metros, high-growth cities, and emerging tech regions.
Federal Infrastructure Opportunities: Public work backed by federal funding will intensify competition through 2026, and our cost forecasting precision helps you win more bids.
