We Itemize Every Furnishing in Your Project
A single miscount in your furnishing takeoff can raise costs after the order is already placed. ACON Engineering keeps that from happening. We review your drawings, finish schedules, and specifications to count every furnishing item. Our estimate lists each piece with its quantity, unit cost, and total. You also get the fixed work, such as cabinetry and countertops, along with the loose furniture and accessories. With each number itemized, you plan your purchasing early and order the right amount well before installation begins.
Furnishing Estimating Services We Provide
We estimate the full Division 12 scope, from fixed casework to loose furniture. Each service below is prepared by an estimator who works in that area. You get an itemized takeoff you can budget and buy from.
FF&E Estimating
We count and price your furniture, fixtures, and equipment, including seating, tables, desks, and storage. Each item is listed with its quantity and cost, so you can order accurately and avoid the overspend that comes from assuming at the schedule.
Casework and Custom Cabinetry Estimating
We measure your built-in cabinetry, shelving, and vanities from the drawings. Our takeoff covers the materials, finishes, and labor for each unit. You bid the casework to the exact specification and protect your margin on custom work.
Countertop and Surface Estimating
We quantify your countertops in concrete, stone, laminate, wood, solid surfacing, & glass. Each surface is measured & priced by material. You see the real cost of every finish before you commit, so you get the look you want without overspending.
Soft Furnishings and Window Treatments
