Case Studies
>1: MEP Estimation for a Hospital Construction Project
Client: Apex Healthcare Builders
Project Type: 250,000 sq. ft. Hospital Building
Location: Dallas, Texas, USA
Scope: Complete MEP estimating and material take-off for HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems.
Challenge:
The client was preparing a bid for a complex hospital project that required highly accurate MEP estimates within a tight deadline. The challenge was the intricate MEP coordination—especially HVAC ductwork and medical gas systems, where minor errors could lead to significant cost deviations.
Solution:
Prime Estimation’s MEP experts analyzed mechanical, electrical, and plumbing drawings simultaneously using advanced digital take-off tools. The team generated a coordinated estimate covering HVAC duct systems, piping networks, electrical panels, conduits, lighting, and plumbing fixtures.
All estimates were cross-checked against regional RSMeans databases for current market pricing and formatted to meet the client’s bid submission standards.

Delivered a comprehensive MEP estimate in just 72 hours.
Improved bid accuracy, leading to a 5% reduction in total estimated cost through value engineering insights.

Challenge:
The client needed a reliable pre-construction MEP estimate for budgeting and subcontractor comparison. The project’s vertical complexity and energy-efficient design made MEP estimating particularly challenging, with extensive variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems and automated lighting controls.
Solution:
Prime Estimation’s team developed a 3D take-off model from the provided BIM files, identifying exact quantities for ducts, cable trays, electrical panels, piping, and plumbing fixtures.
The cost data was layered by system and floor level, enabling Skyline’s project management team to plan material procurement and labour schedules precisely.
