Based in Plano, Noble Stone provides construction cost estimates, quantity takeoffs, and material takeoffs throughout Dallas–Fort Worth and nationwide.
Our estimating scope covers residential, commercial, retail, and mixed-use projects—new construction, renovations, remodels, and additions. Engage estimating independently of our construction work, for a single trade or a broader project budget.
THE SUPPORT YOUR PROJECT NEEDSFive ways to bring
Five ways to bring
your scope into focus.
Quantities. Costs. Assumptions.
Defined around your project.
Construction cost estimating
Bring your drawings and scope into a reviewable cost estimate. Define the project requirements, included trades, assumptions, and level of detail before the work begins.
- Preconstruction budget estimates
- Bid-focused cost breakdowns
- Scope and drawing review
Quantity & material takeoffs
Understand what the drawings call for before putting a price to the work. Quantity and material takeoffs help contractors organize measured scope and prepare their own pricing.
- Drawing-based quantity measurement
- Materials organized by agreed scope
- Takeoff units and assumptions
Residential & renovation estimating
Estimating for homes, additions, remodels, and renovation work. Identify the new work, existing conditions shown in the plans, and scope boundaries that affect the estimate.
- New residential construction
- Remodels, renovations & additions
- Defined packages or broader budgets
Commercial construction estimating
Estimate commercial buildings, retail spaces, tenant improvements, and mixed-use scopes. Support your next budget or bid with clear quantities and an agreed cost breakdown.
- Ground-up commercial projects
- Retail build-outs & tenant improvements
- Commercial renovation scopes
Trade-specific estimating
Need help with one package rather than the whole project? Subcontractors can request estimating for a defined trade. Share the drawings and inclusions so we can confirm the scope we can support.
- Individual subcontractor packages
- Trade-specific quantities & costs
- Inclusions, exclusions & revisions
AGREED BEFORE WE BEGINKnow what
Know what
you’re getting.
We confirm the estimating basis, deliverables, and level of detail before starting. Your estimate should be understandable—not just a final number.
Depending on the agreed scope:
- Quantity and material takeoffs
- Trade-specific cost breakdowns
- Budget or bid-focused estimate
- Documented assumptions and exclusions
- Scope review and agreed revision support
Tell us the file format and breakdown you need. Deliverables vary by engagement; not every item is included in every estimate.
A USEFUL FIRST CONVERSATIONYour plans.
Your plans.
Your priorities.
You don’t need a perfect drawing set to ask a question. Share what’s available and flag what’s still being developed.
DISCUSS YOUR ESTIMATING SCOPEProject & location
The project type and where the work will be built.
Drawings & specifications
A shareable link to available plans, specifications, and the drawing version.
Trade & deliverables
The packages you need estimated, quantities or costs, and preferred breakdown.
Deadline & scope notes
Your bid deadline, known inclusions and exclusions, and scope questions.
Your DFW project.
A defined scope.
From our Plano base, we support estimating requests for projects in Dallas, Fort Worth and the surrounding metroplex, as well as nationwide. Tell us the actual project location, not just your office address, so location-dependent pricing assumptions can be discussed.
A retail build-out, a residential addition and a ground-up commercial bid each need different scope boundaries. Share the drawing version, relevant trades and any local requirements shown in your documents. We confirm what can be estimated and what needs clarification before work begins.
SEE THE FORMAT BEFORE YOU DECIDEA sample.
A sample.
A useful conversation.
Samples are available upon request. Tell Umit which trade or project type interests you and whether you need quantities, a cost breakdown, or both. We can discuss an appropriate example and the deliverable your project needs.

Quantity Takeoff vs. Cost Estimate: What Do You Need?
Understand the difference between measured quantities and priced construction estimates, what each includes, and which deliverable to request for your next bid.
What to Send for a Construction Estimating Quote
A practical checklist of project details, drawing versions, trade scope, deliverables and deadlines to prepare before requesting an estimating or takeoff quote.
ESTIMATING QUESTIONSClear scope.
Clear scope.
Clear answers.
Do you work only in Dallas–Fort Worth?
No. Noble Stone is based in Plano and serves contractors throughout Dallas–Fort Worth, with estimating support also available nationwide. Include your project location so the estimating scope and cost assumptions can be confirmed.
Can I request takeoffs without a full cost estimate?
Yes. Quantity and material takeoffs can be scoped separately from cost estimating. Tell us whether you need measured quantities, cost breakdowns, or both.
What should I send for a quote?
Share your project type and location, a link to available drawings, the trade or scope you need estimated, and your bid deadline. Include relevant specifications and known exclusions when available. Do not submit confidential plans through the public form.
Do you estimate renovations and residential projects?
Yes. Estimating covers residential, commercial, retail, and mixed-use projects, including new construction, renovations, remodels, and additions. This is broader than our commercial and mixed-use construction delivery focus.
What will my estimate include?
Deliverables are agreed before work begins. Depending on the engagement, they may include quantity takeoffs, material quantities, trade-specific cost breakdowns, and documented assumptions or scope exclusions. Request the format and level of detail you need.
How much does an estimate cost, and how long does it take?
Fees and turnaround depend on drawing completeness, project size, the number of trades, and the deliverables required. We confirm a project-specific scope, fee, and schedule; no fixed price or turnaround is assumed.
