954-541-8021 >A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS
Is the first sheet really free?
Yes. One fire alarm sheet for a new client, with no card required. We confirm the sheet boundary and capacity first.
Can I get counts today?
Send the sheet and exact deadline. Rush work targets same-day delivery when accepted, but availability depends on the drawing and current workload.
What is included in my takeoff?
We agree the deliverables after reviewing your plans. The core service is drawing-based device counts and material lists; revision comparisons and quantity checks are also available. Any labor allowance or other additional item must be agreed with its assumptions.
Do you work outside Florida?
Yes. Redline provides drawing-based estimating support to contractors nationwide. Send the bid deadline with its timezone.
