Mechanical estimating is the process of calculating the costs, materials, and labour needed to complete mechanical systems in a construction project. This includes HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), plumbing, and fire protection systems. Accurate mechanical estimating is essential because it ensures contractors submit competitive bids, avoid cost overruns, and keep projects on schedule.
