Please read these terms before you use our website or order a service. By using the site, requesting a quote or placing an order, you agree to them.
These terms are between you and Estimating Canada ("Estimating Canada", "we", "us"), 100 King Street West, Suite 804, Toronto, ON M5X 1A9, [email protected]. "You" means the person or company using the website or ordering our services.
We provide construction estimating, quantity takeoff, material takeoff, trade estimating, tender estimating and related support, and IT services, as described on this website and on your quote.
The scope of each job is the scope confirmed in the quote, order or email exchange for that job. Work outside that scope can be quoted separately.
You are responsible for sending complete and current drawings, specifications, addenda and any other information we need, and for telling us about changes. Our work depends on those documents, so missing, unclear or outdated documents can change the result and the time needed.
You confirm that you have the right to share the documents you send us.
Prices depend on the trades, size, complexity and urgency of the job. A quote is valid for the period shown on it. Work starts once you have confirmed the order and, where the quote requires it, paid the deposit or fee.
Payment terms, accepted payment methods and due dates are those shown on the quote or invoice. Prices are in Canadian dollars unless stated otherwise, and applicable taxes (such as HST, GST, PST or QST) are added where they apply.
Small jobs are usually ready in about 4 to 6 hours and larger projects in 6 to 48 hours, depending on size, urgency and the completeness of your documents. These times are targets, not guarantees. We will tell you if a job needs longer.
Revisions for addenda issued before the bid closes are handled as described on your quote. Changes to the scope, a new set of drawings or a different project can be quoted separately.
An estimate or takeoff is our professional opinion of quantities and probable cost, prepared from the documents you gave us, current market information and the assumptions listed in the report. It is not a guarantee of the final cost of construction, of a bid result or of a price from any supplier or subcontractor.
You remain responsible for the final decisions on your bid, for checking the numbers against site conditions, supplier prices and your own costs, and for design, engineering, permits and code compliance. We do not provide engineering, architectural or legal services, and our reports are not stamped or sealed.
We use your drawings and project documents only to prepare your estimate. We do not share them with other clients. Service providers that help us run the business may handle them only to provide their services. See the Privacy Policy for details.
You keep the rights to your drawings and documents. When the order is paid, you may use the reports we deliver for your own project and bids. We keep the rights to our methods, templates and software. You may not resell our reports or present them as your own service to others.
You agree not to misuse the website, including by trying to gain unauthorized access, sending harmful code, copying the site's content in bulk or using it in a way that is unlawful. The content of the website is for general information and may change without notice.
Links to other websites are provided for convenience. We are not responsible for the content or practices of those sites.
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, lost profits, lost bids or lost contracts arising from the use of our services or website. Our total liability for any claim relating to a service is limited to the fees you paid for that service.
Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot be limited by law, or any right you have under consumer protection law, including the laws of Quebec.
When you contact us, you agree that we may reply to you by email, phone or message about your request. We send commercial messages only as the law allows, and every such message includes our contact details and a way to unsubscribe.
These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there. The courts of Ontario have jurisdiction over any dispute, except where the law of your province of residence gives you the right to bring a claim elsewhere.
Translations of these terms are provided for convenience. If they differ, the English version applies, except where the law of Quebec requires otherwise.
We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top shows when they were last changed. Using the website or ordering a service after a change means you accept the updated terms.
