There is one of the biggest construction booms that has happened in the history of Tampa Bay occurring in St. Petersburg. The competition in this field is fueled by the waterfront development, booming downtown high-rise market, and fast development of neighborhoods in Midtown and the Edge District. In such a tough market, having an accurate estimation is critical for making a profit on a construction project rather than incurring unnecessary expenses. Our company offers you construction estimating in St. Petersburg based on the real conditions in Pinellas County and labor costs in this area.

Concept Estimating is applicable to any kind of commercial structure in St. Petersburg, Florida and throughout Pinellas County.
This company takes care of the entire electrical cost estimation process for St. Petersburg general contractors and subcontractors, who seek professional take-offs without the need for additional employees in their office. This electrical estimation outsourcing service generates an accurate electrical estimation from the service entrance down through the branch circuits, panel schedules, site lighting, and special systems at a rate comparable to the current Tampa Bay electrical labor and material cost rates.
MEP estimation services provide a combination of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing cost estimates within a unified estimate package. St. Petersburg’s mixed-use buildings and high-rise structures require MEP systems that must be meticulously integrated in order to prevent any possible overlap in the scope and cost estimates among the trades.
Comprehensive sitework estimating for costs associated with earthwork, grading, excavation, utilities, paving, and drainage. The unique challenges of sitework estimating in St. Petersburg include difficult access, dewatering needs, and conflicts with existing utilities, necessitating detailed sitework estimating services beyond traditional cut and fill estimates.
Comprehensive thermal and moisture protection estimates for building envelope waterproofing, vapor barrier installation, exterior insulation systems, and below-grade moisture control measures. Given St. Petersburg's humid climate, salty air, and potential storm surges, thermal and moisture protection is a critical but frequently overlooked cost estimate.
Accurate rebar quantity estimates for foundations, slabs, elevated decks, columns, and walls. Coastal construction in St. Petersburg and high wind loads necessitate a substantial amount of rebar work on residential and commercial construction projects. Our rebar estimating ensures that there will be no quantity-related problems during pouring, resulting in costly shortages.
Extensive MS Project schedules with all construction phases from permitting through close-out. For more intricate projects in St. Petersburg such as waterfront and mixed-use, having an MS Project schedule based on your cost estimate gives you a complete timeline and cost-based project from start to finish for all owners and project managers.

The labor demands in St. Petersburg’s construction industry in the Tampa Bay area result in skill shortages. General laborers for carpentry and framing charge $38-$55 per hour while concrete finishers earn $36-$55 per hour. The price for installing tiles and flooring is around $35-$50 per hour due to active renovations in residential buildings.
Specialty tradesmen usually have more expensive prices owing to licensing requirements in the state and labor shortages within the Tampa Bay area. Electricians usually charge between $65-$90, plumbers $60-$85, while HVAC workers charge about $58-$80. Using the average price across the state will undervalue labor costs by 15% to 25%.
St. Petersburg’s projects that are public will use Davis-Bacon prevailing wages for Pinellas County’s work. Carpenters usually earn $55-$70 while electricians earn $85-$100 per hour, which is quite higher than the private sector wages.
Downtown high-rise and waterfront constructions require licensed crane operators, riggers, ironworkers, and other specialized construction services in marine construction. Crane operators usually cost $75-$110 while other specializations in marine construction have additional costs.
The need for labor intensifies between October and March since the demand for construction heightens because of an influx in population and an increase in projects. It is harder to find workers in this period; thus, there will be an increase in overtime and possibly prices.
