Infrastructure and Industrial Contractors

Industrial Process Contractor Estimating Services

Tribuild supports industrial and process contractors with quantity takeoffs across mechanical, structural, and civil scope: process piping by size and linear foot, equipment counted by tag, and foundations and platforms quantified, built from the drawings for bid.

Process construction is a multi-discipline takeoff: piping, equipment, structural, and civil on one job. Tribuild quantifies each: process piping by line spec, size, and service with valves and fittings; equipment and pumps counted by tag; and foundations, platforms, and structural steel carried from the drawings.

Industrial insulation, coatings, instrumentation, and brownfield tie-ins are quantified per the documents, and every deliverable ships with documented assumptions (including the field and existing-plant risk that stays with the contractor) your team can price and defend, for the disciplines approved for delivery.

What we estimate for industrial process contractors

Process piping

Process and utility piping by size, spec, and linear foot with fittings and valves.

Process equipment

Process equipment counted by tag from the equipment list.

Tanks and vessels

Tanks and vessels counted by unit with size and material.

Pumps

Pumps counted by tag with driver and connection scope.

Valves

Manual and control valves counted by type, size, and rating.

Supports

Pipe supports, racks, and hangers by allowance/linear foot.

Structural platforms

Access platforms, stairs, and structural steel by weight and unit.

Equipment foundations

Equipment pads and foundations by volume with reinforcing and anchors.

Instrumentation

Instruments and tie-ins counted by point/loop.

Industrial insulation

Pipe and equipment insulation by size, area, and linear foot.

Specialty coatings

Industrial and high-performance coatings by area and system.

Utility systems

Plant utility piping and connections by size and linear foot.

Fabrication quantities

Shop and field fabrication quantities by weight and spool where applicable.

Demolition and retrofit work

Demolition and tie-in/retrofit quantities for brownfield scope.

How it works

  1. 1

    You submit drawings, specifications, addenda, and bid information.

  2. 2

    Tribuild reviews the scope and delivery requirements.

  3. 3

    The project is assigned to the appropriate estimator or team.

  4. 4

    Questions and clarifications are documented where necessary.

  5. 5

    The deliverable is reviewed under Tribuild's applicable quality-control process.

  6. 6

    The project is delivered through the Tribuild portal or an approved delivery method.

  7. 7

    Revisions and addenda are managed under the applicable service agreement.

Quality control

  • Quantities reconciled against P&IDs, piping plans, and the equipment list
  • Piping separated by spec and service
  • Equipment and valves counted against schedules
  • Foundations and platforms tied to structural drawings
  • Addendum tracking against process revisions

Frequently asked questions

P&IDs, piping plans and isometrics (where available), the equipment and valve lists, structural and foundation drawings, and specifications.

Yes, piping is separated by line spec, size, and service with fittings and valves counted, since spec drives material and labor.

Yes, demolition, tie-ins, and retrofit quantities are carried for brownfield scope with assumptions stated for field conditions.

Means and methods, final pricing, and licensed engineering remain with the contractor and design team. We provide quantity estimating support for the disciplines approved for delivery.
